We are facing the greatest global pandemic of all time. Burnout, anxiety, and stress are at an all-time high. People are the greatest asset of an organisation. The better people look after themselves, the better they perform in all areas of life - both at work and home. Every single tiny choice we make during the day is shaping our lives, directly impacting how we feel and experience life. After getting the biggest wake-up call of losing everything in my life in 2016 I had no choice but to face my habits and make a change. The changes at first seemed so insignificant that I didn't believe they would make a difference. BUT they did. The Positive Habits Podcast is for people who want to live a better life, with higher energy levels, less stress, better relationships and ultimately to supercharge their performance in all areas of life. I'm on a mission to help people improve their well-being with one small habit change. KEY TAKEAWAYS As a child, I remember the number 1 goal was getting to school, mornings were very stressful and as soon as you opened your eyes it was 100mph to get out of the door. Every day felt like rinse and repeat. As an adult we go through something similar; we wake up on autopilot, those who have children get them ready for school before getting ready for work themselves. We’re in the middle of a global mental health pandemic but there are so many habits we have that are 100% shaping the way we feel and experience our lives, our energy levels, our mood, our ability to focus, our performance at work and home, how well we look after ourselves. All of this is linked to our habits. Most people’s daily habits are damaging to their mental health and ability to cope with life’s stresses. Our phones have become our alarm clocks so it’s so easy to look at them within a nanosecond of opening your eyes and to create all that stress about the day ahead before you’ve even properly opened your eyes. The brain isn’t ready for that information yet. The belief that the harder you work the more successful you’ll be is still so powerful and pertinent in society today. The challenge with that mentality and frame of mind is that it doesn’t take into account: At what cost?   BEST MOMENTS “In 2016 I nearly lost my life. It happened without any warning, and it was the compound effect of years of unhealthy and toxic habits.” “My life started to change when I changed my habits.” “One Wednesday everything changed, and I noticed my thoughts for the first time.” “We can improve our own wellbeing when we start doing more of the things that give us energy and that we love.” 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. LinkedIn Instagram
