When it comes to improving our mental well-being, practising calm is one of the best places to start. Clarity of mind is extremely important when you are dealing with stress, problems and emotional turmoil. And remaining calm in times of turbulence and chaos, allows us to think more logically and make decisions accordingly. Rebekah Ballagh is the bestselling author and illustrator of 'Note to Self', 'Note to Self Journal', 'Words of Comfort', 'Be Your Best Self', 'Big Feelings' and 'Let's Go, Flo!' She's a qualified counsellor, somatic and nervous system regulation coach, trainer, speaker and the creator of popular Instagram community @journey_to_wellness_ Rebekah's latest book '101 Ways to Find Calm - How to use your body to soothe your mind', offers simple, powerful tools to teach you how to safely feel and process your emotions, rewire your brain and nervous system, and how to deeply connect with yourself. In this episode of The Happier Life Project Becks shares some of her favourite calming exercises from the book, whilst discussing with host Gabby why so many people around the world struggle with finding calm. Rebekah also talks about why it's so important to complete the stress response and sit with and digest difficult emotions, in order to come to a more peaceful place in the body. Gabby and Becks also look at the most common reasons why the brain won't allow us to relax, and what we can do to override or disengage the body's stress response - when it is unnecessarily activated.

I've got an incredible interview to share with you all today that you do NOT want to miss! I recently sat down with productivity guru and journaling sensation Cathryn Lavery for a raw, uncensored chat that has never been heard before. As the founder of BestSelf Co and the creator of the wildly popular Self Journal that has taken over social media, Cathryn has built an empire empowering people to unlock their full potential through goal-setting and intentional living. But there's so much more to her story that you likely haven't heard. Trust me when I say Cathryn's journey has been anything but conventional. This rebellious entrepreneur was running full-fledged business operations in elementary school out of her mother's kitchen (I'll let Cathryn tell you exactly what those were). But flashforward from baking up a storm to studying architecture for nearly 7 years in college and grad school. Yup, you read that right! Listen in as Cathryn gets vulnerable about the uncertainty she faced and the calculated risks that eventually paid off in unimaginable ways. And this episode is jam-packed with so many golden nuggets of business, mindset and manifestation wisdom as Cathryn reflects on the major inflection points along her journey. You'll discover the unlikely way she met her business partner, the failures and wins they faced together, as well as the one game-changing piece of advice Cathryn received that completely transformed her relationship with her customers. I found myself furiously scribbling down notes during our exchange because Cathryn brilliantly broke down the exact templates and frameworks she's created for others to succeed. From morning rituals to unlocking productivity, sales funnels and minimalist marketing strategies, she generously shares the details other "gurus" often keep hidden behind paywalls and closed doors. So pull out your journals and prepare to have your mind blown as we uncover the secrets behind BestSelf's meteoric rise and the unlikely serial entrepreneur who started it all! Cathryn brought the straight fire and kept it real the entire conversation - if you're ready for pure inspiration and non-BS business advice from a self-made queen, press play NOW!   Host: Daymond John   Producers: Beau Dozier & Shanelle Collins; Ted Kingsbery, Chauncey Bell, & Taryn Loftus   For more info on how to take your life and business to the next level, check out DaymondJohn.com   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Your beliefs help to shape the lens through which you see yourself, the world, and how you perceive things. What do you believe? " Self-discovery is an inner journey that connects you with the truth of who you are. Armed with this truth, you have the insights and understandings needed to create a life that's aligned with your values, your purpose, and the things that make you happy. So cultivate the courage to look within, reflect on your experiences, and peel back the layers. Get curious about the mystery that is you. In the words of Aristotle, “knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.”Let's explore how journaling can support this journey...In this week's episode, we explore: Why there's wisdom in knowing who we are. Discovering yourself through your backstory. Identifying your unconscious navigation system by uncovering your values. How your beliefs drive the way you show up in the world. Exploring what matters most to you. "When you know yourself, you can make your next steps with intention, purpose, and meaning." The power of passion. Defining your strengths so you can leverage them. Putting language around your essence. Knowing yourself through the power of silence.Reclaiming ALL of who we are. And more...This week's journaling prompt.

"Having tools to lean on and support yourself when things get tough can be reassuring and empowering  because you feel as though you're doing something proactive." Life is an up-and-down spiral. As a result, we get to experience the full spectrum of human emotions, which is both beautiful and challenging.But as we walk through life, we get to discover more about who we are because of the way we dance through the highs and hold ourselves through the lows. The lows can be challenging and complex because they can evoke feelings of overwhelm, uncertainty, chaos, stress, anxiety, and even burnout. So how can we stay grounded and clarify our thoughts during these times? Let's find some answers in this episode... In this week's episode, we explore: The power of supporting ourselves through pressure. The fear of losing the ground beneath our feet. What does it mean to stay grounded?Why overwhelming emotions stifle our decision-making skills.  Using stream-of-consciousness journaling to articulate the turmoil within. "When we blurt out our thoughts in our journal, we empower ourselves to  unpack them and process them."Using our journal to tackle worst-case scenarios and put worries to bed. Tackling disassociation through journaling. Finding our center through our five senses. The power of specificity in your journal. Exploring the art of noticing. And more... When you feel pressure, I want to suggest there's always a solution. There's always a way forward. There's always a next step you can take. Yes, the path ahead may be painful, challenging, or difficult… But along the way, you may gain some magic and beauty you didn't expect. And with your journal by your side, at least you can rely on one thing. YOU. Your voice.

How easy is it for you to make good decisions?

Where we're heavily influenced by the media and information that surrounds us. It's not always easy to give ourselves the space to really think things through. But sometimes, time is exactly what we need. When making big decisions, we need the space to feel into all the angles and possibilities. We need the space to gain SELF-AWARENESS plus the time to engage in critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Innovation, creativity, and lateral thinking are also useful skills for choosing well!Imagine how differently you'd feel if you KNOW you've made the right choice for you because you've thought through the decision thoroughly…Remember, your journal is here to hold you anytime you need to go deep. I hope the questions & sequence shared in this episode prove useful to you. Get to writing! "Journaling helps clear bandwidth and shift your perspective.

In turn, you can get clearer and clearer on knowing what you really want."  What is it like to walk the path of curiously discovering who we are?

"Everybody can write, we're born storytellers. Usually, it's just allowing and learning how to start trusting your instincts and your intuition...

I have a lot to say about this episode's topic because it's so close to my heart. Self-expression is a catalyst for more aligned opportunities. It's an invitation to know who you really are, and it's a tool for experiencing life in the most fulfilling of ways. Best of all, journaling is a tool and a practice that can elevate our self-expression - opening the doorway to all the gifts that show up when you can OWN your truth. "When we hold back, restrain, silence, and shrink, there are aspects of  us that go unexplored, unacknowledged and unseen -- sometimes those parts of us are THE most potent aspects of our being."Tune in now to hear us explore: How society stifles our self-expression. Understanding the courage it takes to be our fully expressed selves. Articulating the dangers that restrained expression protects us from. Why self-expression catalyses deep inner work. Allowing self-expression to guide you to your dreams. "When we express our full selves... we step into the space of more opportunities, like-minded people, intuition, and freedom."  How self-expression heightens your awareness of who you really are. Journaling as a tool for developing the skill of self-expression.  How childhood experiences can make us lose trust in our self-expression. My personal story of reclaiming fearless self-expression. The power of the edit. And more...Deep down we all have a deep need to be seen for our truth. We're drawn to authenticity because there's a part of us that wants to experience life without the social mask. We want to feel that feeling of being uncensored and untamed.  It can take huge courage to show your full self. And your journal is here to help open the floodgates to more experimentation, intentional risks, and more.  What does your authentically expressed self feel like? I invite you to find out... page by page. This week's journaling prompt.       What's burning inside?

"Bravery is about moving through our expansion and growth pains to tap into what's on the other side." Often the thing in the way is our thoughts, beliefs, and assumptions about who we are and who we can be.

In this episode we explore: What does it mean to be brave? The relationship between fear and the life we want. The difference between real and perceived fears. How our childhood experiences can keep us playing small. Exposing the multitude of things that hold us back. "Fear is a compass and an invitation to grow into life."Why stay with discomfort instead of going for our dreams. The potent power of elevating your noticing skills by becoming the witness.Why it's powerful to slow things down. Why our saboteurs are actually protecting us.And more...I'm my own worst enemy. I'm usually the one who's most in the way! My relationship with fear is what I'm always working at… rooting out the things that hold me back and then transmuting them with journaling. I invite you to try this for yourself - and see if you can write yourself BRAVE.JOURNALING PROMPTS. If you could turn your braveness up by 50% what would change in your life? What would you suddenly have the courage to be or do? What would be the result of that? What if you turned up your braveness by 75% or even 100%... then what? Are you ready to turn that dial? If so, write down up to FIVE things that you could do over the next week to experience your BRAVE at a higher level. Also, check out the BestSelf Co. range of journaling tools:1.

One of the reasons I journal is to access and claim the truth of who I am. This type of journaling is deep work - sacred work even...But I'm fully aware that there are times I don't go deep enough. Maybe you experience this too? Moments when you step away from your journal too soon - or when you hold back from pulling away a layer because you can't 'allow' yourself to go there. When we stay in the shallows with our inner inquiries, we limit the wisdom we can uncover. In turn, we miss out on the full potential that journaling has to offer. In this episode, we unpack the most common reasons why we get stuck in superficiality. Then reveal some proven, powerful practices for going deeper than we've ever gone before. Enjoy! "We live in an age of decreasing attention spans because of the onslaught and avalanche of information that's put in front of us every day."Highlights from this episode include: Unpacking the excuse of lack of time. Exposing the danger of instant gratification. Resistance is the wall that's keeping us from our truth.Cultivating the discipline to sit a little longer.Questions as portals to our inner doors. "On the other side of resistance, impatience, and lack of time is the opportunity to crack open new insights and the invitation to make new discoveries."  What happens when we shine the light of awareness on resistance.Leveraging monologues as a way to go beyond the shallows. learning to sit with uncomfortable feelings.Using the breath to sharpen our awareness. Why depth is an act of rebellion. And more...In a world where we breathe instant gratification (thanks to social media!!!), going deeper than you think is possible in your journal is an act of rebellion! It's an act that connects you to your best self and your brilliant mind, creative insight, and unique perspective. Deep dive journaling is a powerful practice.But don't take my word for it! Try it for yourself with the help of the insights & prompts in this episode.  This week's journaling prompt.

This episode marks our 2-year anniversary! I'm so grateful for all the conversations we've had over this time. Thanks for being part of this beautiful journey. This week, we're exploring the power of accessing the NOW through your journaling. "The NOW is a great time to journal. Of course, we're always writing in the now,  but do we approach the journal with the energy of the now?"  How my solo trip to India showed me the power of NOW.    Leveraging the NOW as an anchor to what's 'real'. The danger of dragging the past into the now. Practice writing from a deeply connected deeply present place. The problem of being too in the mind. "The NOW is a living, breathing, evolving entity - a presence that has depth, width, weight, texture, and tangibility." Breathing to hit the metaphorical pause button. Remembering that we're consciousness, not just thoughts. Predictability as a form of safety. Soothing the inner critic to create space for magic. Inviting possibility & potentiality into your life through your journal. And more...Presence journaling is such a fun practice that can help reveal the next version of your best self. I encourage you to try this practice for yourself.

When we encounter unexpected change, the shift in experience can knock us off our centre. Certainty is replaced with unpredictability, and that can leave us feeling exposed, vulnerable, and even unsafe. When our emotions are high, intelligence can be low.

Often when we are grieving the loss of someone we love, we are filled with anxiety that wherever they are, they are ok. We also want to look for signs that we will be ok.

You bought or built your first location outright, then you added a second location with a 50-50 partner...and then you both went in on a third location with a third partner. Now you've all decided you need to form a management company because you want to grow to 10+ locations, so how do you figure out who owns what percentage of what?! Sound familiar? We encounter this scenario frequently and we've seen a LOT of it lately. Getting your equity "capitalization table" straight impacts your ability to govern the business and grow the business. I talk through this scenario in an effort to shed some light on the mathematical component as well as the emotional component.
