## Resource

Overthinking is becoming a global challenge and it’s only getting worse in a world full of noise, information, and constant distraction. In this short 10 minute solo episode, Kat shares one of the most powerful (and underused) positive habits to combat overthinking, reduce anxiety, and improve performance: journaling - reframed as “brain dumping.” This simple, low-cost habit can help you regain control of your thoughts, build clarity, and take meaningful action in both your work and personal life. What You’ll Learn: Why overthinking is increasing How your thoughts shape beliefs, behaviours, and habits Why “journaling” might be putting you offand what to do instead The power of “brain dumping” to calm your mind and nervous system How writing helps you challenge unhelpful or untrue thoughts How this habit creates clarity, confidence, and better decision-making Through writing regularly, she gained clarity on her career, lifestyle, and relationships leading to meaningful change that she couldn’t access just by thinking or talking. Key Takeaway: You don’t need to solve everything in your head. Get it out of your head and onto paper. Clarity comes from creating space - not more thinking. Your Action Step (Start Today): Grab a plain notebook and pen Spend 5–10 minutes writing down everything on your mind No structure. No rules. No pressure. Just write. Final Thought: This is one of the most underutilised habits available to you. It costs nothing but can change everything.
