Burnout, anxiety, stress is 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 wellbeing with one small habit change.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-16T02:31:32.026894+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-positive-habits-podcast-6951216"},"episode":{"title":"You Can’t Afford Not To Have A Morning Routine","slug":"you-can-t-afford-not-to-have-a-morning-routine","published_at":"2024-08-26T23:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-positive-habits-podcast-6951216/you-can-t-afford-not-to-have-a-morning-routine","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-positive-habits-podcast-6951216","url":"https://omny.fm/shows/the-positive-habits-podcast/you-can-t-afford-not-to-have-a-morning-routine","audio_url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/a60b6eda481a6fed93e04abc75d7494f5804925640160e2be46d3e5a74dd7fa1/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiI3YmRlYmY3Mi03OGRmLTQ0MGUtODIyYy1mNTFmYjJlZDkzOWIiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiI4YjBlZTM0YS0yNTk0LTQ2MTgtYTUxMi1jZGJhMmQwYjNmMjEiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2NWMyM2Y4NWM0NTE2MjFkOThhOGFjNDEiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvaW1wb3J0cy9wb2RjYXN0cy84YjBlZTM0YS0yNTk0LTQ2MTgtYTUxMi1jZGJhMmQwYjNmMjEvZXBpc29kZXMvN2JkZWJmNzItNzhkZi00NDBlLTgyMmMtZjUxZmIyZWQ5MzliL1VTVkwxOTIyMTUzMDg5Lm1wMyJ9.mp3","summary":"On this episode Kat talks about the power of a morning routine, what her old one was like compared to the one now that has unlocked so much potential. KEY TAKEAWAYS There were 3 things I used to do every morning: 1. Snooze my alarm 4-6 times. 2. Pick up my smart phone and scroll through my emails and look at deadlines, thinking I was getting ready for the day ahead but was actually making me hyper-stressed. 3. Have some kind of caffeine (coffee/energy drink) to start the day. My morning routine wasn’t getting me mentally and physically prepared for the day ahead. When I shifted, after my breakdown, into changing up how I went about my mornings, everything changed. I swapped this really unhealthy morning routine that was damaging my performance/mental health/wellbeing/long-term relationship/career prospects/everything, for small habits (starting with reading) that really powered me up. Reading a few pages or consuming something positive for my brain (podcast/motivational video), because the brain is wired to think negatively in the morning, because when you start feeding your brain positivity you start feeling better, having more energy, thinking positive thoughts. When you write your thoughts down (journalling) they start to lose power and you start to regain power over them. BEST MOMENTS “Snoozing your alarm is one of the most toxic habits you can ever have.” “Checking my phone first thing in the morning was quietly, over a long period of time, sending me on a path to destruction.” “Habits don’t just change your day, they change your week, your month, your year, they change your entire life.” “Feed your brain positive food.” ABOUT THE HOST Kat started her career as a teacher, before moving into Tech where she worked in different executive roles within teaching and con…","meta_description":"On this episode Kat talks about the power of a morning routine, what her old one was like compared to the one now that has unlocked so much potential.
