In this solo episode, Kat talks about journalling and why writing down your thoughts and feelings can be powerful. This is something that previously Kat didn’t give much merit to, which can often be the case with popular wellbeing ‘tropes’, but by trying these things, we might find they help us. Kat shares the positives she has found by journalling and why you should try it too.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
If we can forget negative assumptions about popular things in the mental health and wellbeing space, it gives us the opportunity to try things that might help us.
You get 5-10k of thoughts every single day and how you work through these and process them matters.
Most people are overconsuming information in life and not producing, largely due to our phones, the internet and an excess of options.
If you are trying to find clarity in your thoughts, rather than talking to others, you can put all of these thoughts onto paper. This can stop you from getting into a cycle of negativity.
First thing in the morning and last thing at night are great times to journal, keeping a notebook by your bed can help make this a habit.
Your experience of life will transform in a positive way when you can control your negative thoughts and journalling is the perfect way to do this.
BEST MOMENTS
"I think that we have so many thoughts and beliefs and often negative associations with these words that we don’t even give them the time of day”
“From the minute you wake up, to the minute you go to sleep, there’s a lot of things going on in that brain of yours”
“We are overconsuming and overproducing.”
“When I can start to feel myself talking negatively, starting to overthink things I just start to put those thoughts and those words and ideas down on paper”
ABOUT THE GUEST
ABOUT THE HOST
Kat started her career as a teacher, before moving into Tech where she worked in different executive roles within teaching and consulting working across the globe, both in the public and private sector. Despite appearing 'successful' on the outside, she paid a heavy ‘life’ price. In 2016, her whole world collapsed. The reason? The compound effect of years of unhealthy and toxic habits that destroyed her health, relationship and career. She suffered a severe breakdown and lost everything. In the middle of this she got headhunted for her first CEO role. She rebuilt herself by changing just one small habit, and built a series of positive habits which has transformed her professional and personal performance, resulting in becoming the healthiest and happiest version of herself.
She is a positive habits international keynote speaker and teacher, giving talks and delivering high impact programmes to organisations across the globe.
