| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Robin Long, Pilates instructor and founder of Lindy Well. Here on the Balance Life |
| 0:14.7 | podcast, you'll find honest conversations about health, wellness, self-care, work-life balance, and everything in between. |
| 0:23.4 | We'll cover it all and provide inspiration, resources, and practical tips to help you become |
| 0:29.2 | the healthiest version of yourself, inside and out. |
| 0:34.4 | Hi, friends, welcome back to the podcast. Today, we are going to talk about gratitude. I will be sharing |
| 0:40.8 | evidence of how this simple act of gratitude can have an impact on our health and well-being, |
| 0:45.8 | and also sharing practical ideas to cultivate a gratitude practice in your daily life. It's become a |

| 1:29.7 | birthday was approaching, I found myself in a funk. I had just had a baby, so I was in the thick of the |
| 1:35.9 | postpartum season, and I was living in a new city. So I didn't have a ton of friends, and I wasn't |
| 1:40.6 | super comfortable living there. I'm also not really one to make a big fuss about my birthday. |
| 1:45.8 | I mean, don't get me wrong, honest moment. |
| 1:48.1 | I want to be spoiled with attention and gifts all day on my birthday, but I'm not one to go |
| 1:53.3 | out and ask for it. |
| 1:54.6 | So it's actually easy for me to kind of end up with the birthday blues. |
