167: Getting Yourself Out of a Hole: A Simple Daily Habit to Reduce Stress and Cultivate Optimism

Author: Lorrie Mickelson, Habits & Self Care August 30, 2025 Duration: 17:12

As we come into the last weekend of August — the “Sunday of summer” — I thought I’d share a quick habit hack with you on Episode #167 of the Habit Thrive Podcast.


This habit hack (or, as I like to call it: Habit thrive practice), is all about looking forward ... cultivating optimism to move out of a stuck spot you might find yourself in.


This little habit of looking forward is simple but powerful.


It helps us shift from tunnel vision to wide-angle living.


Whether you find yourself facing down a health issue, a life change, the aftermath of a disagreement, or any other event or situation that plagues your mind, these three steps I'm sharing today can help you move past the spot you're in.


Remember: This moment is temporary.


What lies ahead is wider, lighter, and filled with possibility!


Love,

Lorrie xoxox
