    4 Small Habits That Will Change Your Life
    Apr 30 2024
    BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE, a brief update on Danielle! She is home from the hospital and doing much better. She is gaining strength every day and is so grateful for all of your prayers and good wishes. This episode was recorded before she got sick, so there is no mention of her illness in this week's show. Thank you for all your support and encouragement. You can et all the latest updates and details at daniellebean.substack.com.

    In episode 419 of the Girlfriends podcast, host Danielle Bean discusses four small, yet significant habits that can profoundly impact one's life.

    Danielle covers the importance of daily prayer and its benefits, emphasizing making prayer a natural part of one’s routine.

    She then addresses the critical role that sufficient sleep plays in overall well-being, offering practical tips for achieving better sleep hygiene.

    The third habit focuses on the power of letting go—of control, resentments, and the need to manage everything—encouraging listeners to trust more in God's plan.

    Lastly, Danielle advocates for hitting the pause button in our fast-paced lives, suggesting breaks from work and technology to enhance mindfulness and presence. Throughout the episode, Danielle interweaves personal insights and actionable advice, aiming to guide listeners towards peace, balance, and joy in family living.

    Takeaways
    • Daily prayer can reduce stress, increase happiness, and improve relationships.
    • Prioritizing proper sleep is essential for physical and mental well-being.
    • Letting go of things beyond your control can lead to acceptance and trust in God.
    • Taking breaks and disconnecting from technology can help you reflect, recharge, and find balance.
