I've always been a deep thinker... Sometimes that's a good thing, but other times it can lead to overthinking, worrying about things that haven't even happened and putting unnecessary pressure on…
So the first thing's a bit obvious.
You know, I know this is something that's mentioned a lot, but the first thing is to talk to someone.
Now, that could be a friend, that could be a family member, that could be a coach.
Like, whenever I'm worried about something, I usually speak to my mum, to be honest with you.
I do speak to Sally, but I know Sally's got a lot on her plate as well, so usually my mum is the first person that I speak to.
But I've also used people like coaches.
So if I've got a business problem, I'll speak to my business coach.
You know, if I've got a physique problem or I, I feel like I'm training too hard, I'm burnt out, I'll speak to my fitness coach about it.
Just having someone in your corner, you know, getting stuff out of your head and speaking to people, that's one of the most important things is creating an open dialogue.
And all it takes sometimes is just one person that you trust, and sometimes you might have to pay for that.
You might have to pay for a counselor, therapist, coach.
But actually having somebody to share these feeling with is immensely important because if you're just keeping it all in your head, it can be very exhausting.
And often we can't see our own blind spots.
The amount of times that I've thought I've been making progress, then all of a sudden it feels like two steps forward, two steps back.
And then I share what I'm thinking, what I'm worried about with somebody else, and they notice something that I wouldn't know- notice.
Because like I said, it's impossible to understand your blind spots.
Sometimes we need help discovering them.
So that's the first one, is talking to someone.
That helps me out massively.
And even though it doesn't necessarily solve the things that I'm trying to fix, it gives me the opportunity to kind of vent, to speak, to share, to process emotions, which I think is hugely important.
The second thing is journaling.
I have a journal.
In fact, it's next to me as I'm recording this podcast.
A little blue book, and I just write things in it whenever I feel like it.
I used to fill it in every single day.
