35. Fall Wellness Series: Week 1 — Starting with the Mind

Welcome back to Positively, Priyanka! After a little break since April, I’m returning with a brand-new Fall Wellness Series — 8 episodes designed to help you think, feel, and glow differently this season.

In Week 1, we’re starting with the mind: clearing the mental clutter. Together, we’ll explore what unhelpful thought patterns sound like, why they keep us stuck, and how simple CBT-based reframes can shift your perspective and open space for growth. I’ll also guide you through a journaling exercise to help you release an old story that no longer serves you, and share evidence-based resources to support your reflection this week.

This is your gentle reset — a chance to soften, reset your inner dialogue, and step into the season with clarity and intention.

✨ Resources Mentioned in this Episode:

📘 What Is Cognitive Restructuring?
— Psychology Tools
🎥 How to Challenge Negative Thoughts (CBT in Action)
— Therapist Aid (7 mins)
📚 The Happiness Trap by Dr. Russ Harris (Intro & Chapter 1 on myths of happiness)
