Don’t you hate that… So, how do we balance pessimistic thinking in a world that is so unsettled? How do we stop the vicious cycle of anxiety, worry and fear? How can we approach our day - our lives - with more optimism?    In this episode, host Felicity Harley sits down with Kate James, a mindfulness coach and best-selling author to delve into how to balance negative thoughts and boost the positive ones.   You can find out more about Kate’s new book here or on Instagram.     You can join the conversation, or drop us a question, via the Healthy-ish Australia Facebook page, here.
