    KEY TAKEAWAYS
    The brain is where the bulk of the action happens when it comes to feeling good or bad. This means how we perceive a situation is how we act towards a situation, so if we can learn to modify it we will have a very powerful skill. It has to be a conscious process and this starts by identifying a negative thought when it appears and deciding that it’s an unwanted thought or action to partake in an unwanted activity.
    When you’re stressed your emotional side of your brain really takes centre stage and the rational side of your brain takes a back seat and unfortunately, your emotional brain is not 100% reliant and it tends to have a negative bias.
    Cognitive reappraisal is an emotion regulation strategy that involves changing the trajectory of an emotional response by reinterpreting the meaning of the emotional stimulus. For example, a person may fail a series of tests and think negatively about his or her performance upon first receiving the results.
    Cognitive reappraisal is about choosing to find new and different ways to create more positive emotion.
    BEST MOMENTS
    “Our emotional brain is wired to avoid danger and therefore has a bias towards safer decisions.”
    “If you’re are in a negative space you’re far more likely to want to change your approach.”

  • Supporting a (Rubbish) Football Team (rant!)
    Welcome back to the Serial Stress Killer Podcast. This podcast is filled with goodness, packed full of vitamin C and protein infused magic, and today, Chris shares with you the pros and cons of supporting a (Rubbish) football team. Hear the levels of stress that football fans put themselves through, simply to support a team. Learn the bizarre theory behind it and understand how the relationship between fan and football can teach us some much-needed learnings to apply in our real life and real relationships.
    Remember “Stress is the enemy and you are the killer.”
    KEY TAKEAWAYS
    Football affects around 3 billion people globally and is constantly causing huge amounts of stress and heartache. Chris has supported Aston Villa from a very young age. A relationship that's lasted longer than any other, the longest commitment in Chris's life and it’s not all been plain sailing.
    Unlike marriages and relationships, the support for your club doesn't end. You're in it for the long haul. Once you align yourself with a football team, there's no going back.
    As a result of football, hundreds of millions of people are left feeling let down every year. It’s one of the most masochists of personal endeavours. Football fans feel the high hysteria and love for the team when you win a game, but if you support a rubbish team this is usually a one-off. Nevertheless, regardless of the result, you continue to support your team with the up-most passion.
    There could be tens of thousands or even millions of fans just like you, feeling anger, frustration, heartache, love and loyalty and every year you're filled with the hope that it might be different. This hope is given to you by the few select fans that end up elated and overjoyed at the team's success and you'll realise that this could be you. We allow ourselves to believe that it could be us celebrating, it could be us winning.
    The reality is all of us have the choice to leave any unfulfilling relationships and find pastures new. You just need to be brave, make a choice and move on.
    BEST MOMENTS
    “In all my years as a Villa supporter, I have encountered countless games that have left me feeling disappointed and wanting to leave, but I’ll always go back.”
    “Even in the darkest moments, we as football supports allow ourselves to hope.”

  • How to identify (and deal with) Stupid sh_t
    Why do we spend so much of our time and energy focusing on the stupid stuff that doesn’t really matter, when we have so much stuff going on? Why do we spend our time worrying and allow it to mess with our heads and fill us with dread? Why do we beat ourselves up with stupid thoughts when we should be focusing on positive things.
    These are all great questions and in today’s episode of the Serial Stress Killer Podcast, Chris rallies against the stupid shit that’s dragging you down and preventing you from enjoying life. All it does is add to your misery and stop you getting stuff done. So banish it.
    Remember “Stress is the enemy and you are the killer.”
    KEY TAKEAWAYS
    The frustration that you feel when the internet breaks or you hear those niggling comments from your family or friends. When you have a big and serious distraction in your life that demands all of your time and energy you are suddenly able to relegate all of those stresses to the back of your mind with relative ease. When this happens you don't toss and turn at night about the stupid stuff you've been worrying about because you've actually got some real problems to deal with.
    When we have something bigger to deal with we can perspective and understand the severity of the problems we need to deal with. So why do many of us seem to forget these nuggets of wisdom during the day to day when we have the most time and energy to deal with them?
    Stupid shit is triviality with teeth. It's where you develop an emotional response or a trigger that doesn't impact on anything other than your ego. It's spending hours thinking about something that shouldn't bother us. Do you think people in war-torn countries worry themselves with trivial things? If you ever find yourself thinking about stupid shit you need to be able to spot it. When you can do this quickly and effectively you will stress about things a lot less. We need to look at the bigger picture
    There are two main categories of stress.
    - It’s somebody else's bullshit
    - It’s circumstantial
    BEST MOMENTS
    “We can be utterly moronic at times.”
    "Why allow somebody else's words to ruin your day"
    “You have to be able to let go of the frustrations very quickly”

    KEY TAKEAWAYS
    None of us are at our best when we are sleep deprived. We can’t think straight, we become short-tempered and we definitely have a reduced capacity for concentration. When you are depressed and sleep deprived you’re not always conscious of the situation and unaware of it’s causing you issues.
    Don’t get frustrated when you can’t sleep. Simply remind yourself it is only temporary and really it’s just one of those things. Don’t get stressed about it, just accept it.
     
    After a night of insomnia, the day ahead will most likely be a struggle. Remember to remind yourself that you’re not at your best and attempt to reduce communication with others.
     
    Instead of trying to sleep, I took the opposite approach and attempted to stay awake as long as I possibly could. I tried to change my mindset to stay awake, rather than needing to sleep.
     
    Five Things To Try To Break Sleep Deprivation
    Never stay in bed for longer than two hours. Change your environment and move around.
    Remind yourself that your sleep deprivation is temporary and it’s permanent. Don’t stress about it.
    Don’t spend time worrying about it and stressing about it. Accept that, relieve your stress and move on.
    If you’re going through sleep deprivation you might as well do something with your new found time.
    Instead of trying to go to sleep, do the opposite and stay awake. This will change the whole dynamic.
     
    BEST MOMENTS
    “Sleep is kind of all or nothing. You either drop off straight away, or you toss and turn for hours.”
    “It’s always better to move about and change your environment when you can’t sleep.”
    “I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had a bad nights sleep and tried to go to bed the next day about 7pm and found myself wide awake 2 or 3 hours later.”

  • How to Tackle Self Doubt
    Welcome back to another episode of The Serial Stress Killer Podcast. Today, Chris talks about doubt. Doubt is the key driver of stress, uncertainty loss of confidence. Doubt is what prevents us from making decisions and what keeps us questioning ourselves over and over. Doubt stops us from moving forward mentally, physically and conceptually and in today’s episode, Chris explains how you can use doubt to your advantage.
    KEY TAKEAWAYS
    Doubt makes us feel like we don't have control and it can easily become an epidemic. It's not pleasant because we want to have certainty in life, we want to be sure about what we're doing. Doubt can be crippling and it's easy to recognise, however, it's hard to fight it. No one is immune to self-doubt and even the successful will have questioned themselves.
    The feelings of a genuinely dangerous situation are similar to the feelings when we are starting something new. We feel or anticipate someone will judge us. By attempting new activities we will go outside of our comfort zone but it's essential to growth. If we do the same activities over and over again we will feel less doubt in our lives, but you will feel board and feel less excitement in your life.
    Our brains often try to protect us with feelings of doubt so we can hold back on decisions. Self-doubt will always be with you, but it's there to protect you.
    How To Overcome Feelings Of Fear & Doubt
    You have to learn to overcome your inner critic.
    Look to your past and remember and recognise your successes.
    You have to be aware of the comparison trap.
    Get a boost of optimism.
    Learn to view setbacks as temporary.
    You can and will correct your course along the way.
     
    You will go through periods of doubt all of the time. If you compare yourself to other people and their successes your fear and doubt will come into play. A better way to go about things is to compare yourself to yourself and see how you've kept going, despite all the things that have been thrown at you.
     
    You're not a failure just because you have failed. Sometimes things go well and sometimes they don't. You need to use failure to your advantage and move forward in a smarter way.
    BEST MOMENTS
    William Shakespeare - "Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt."
    Brian Tracey "Life is like an aeroplane journey. From the time you take off you will be off course 99% of the time"
    “Let others optimism and enthusiasm flow through you.”
    “By our very nature, we live in doubt. We have an uncertain future and it's changing all of the time. There are so many variables and parallels constantly shifting and it's so hard to be sure of anything.”
    “Doubt is simply an element of fear and fear is the emotion we feel when we see a potential threat or danger.”

  • How Stress Affects Your Body? With Stress & Resilience Expert Paula Ruane
    In this episode of Serial Stress Killer Podcast, Chris Hackett chats with Paula Ruane, a stress and resilience expert, to help you combat stress by using a stress management plan based on HearthMath results. When dealing with stress, trace your way to its physiological effects. Discover how important it is to understand first how our body works in managing stress levels – how your brain reacts, what hormone is responsible for stress, and what’s the benefits of sleep.
    Chris also took the test before this episode to find out what Paula has to say about his’ brain holograms, organ systems, and even the external factors that could affect the body.
    Aside from these, Chris and Paula also talk about how people nowadays are dependent on technology and how different the lifestyle of the millennials are from older people. Even the types and levels of stress are different for the generations.
    KEY TAKEAWAYS
    HearthMath Training increases the capacity to prepare for, recover from, and adapt in the phase stress, challenge, and adversary.
    Social media is not going away. We don’t want it to go away despite the dangers it presents. Most are on it 24/7. We should learn how to manage the time we allot on looking at our phones, PCs, etc.
    Paula suggests to go out and appreciate nature. It improves your mind, body, and well-being. It gets you away from the technology’s toxicity.
    “Nothing can beat eyeball-to-eyeball.” Meeting people personally – compared to chatting with them through any tech – tightens the trust, understanding, and honesty in a relationship. It lessens relationship issues that can cause stress.
    Brain Functions:
    2 Risk Assessment Centers of our brain: amygdala (quick to react but not accurate) and thalamus (slower but accurate)
    Amygdala hijack – immediate emotional response; shuts off our thinking
    Reptilian brain – controls the body’s vital functions
    Cerebral cortex – clever bit; what we need to empathize, evaluate, or solve problems
    Get enough sleep and stay away from blue screens an hour before rest time. It’s a good reset to recover energy so you can deal with what’s thrown at you. Keep distractions away from the bedroom. “The only tablets that should be in the bedroom are those you have to swallow with water.”
    Use stress as a source of adrenaline rush to get you going. In fact, cortisol, the biggest stress hormone, is at its most from 4AM to 9AM because that’s what gets us out of the bed.
    Heart Rate Variability is when beat per beat, the rate changes. It’s what gives the trace line. So, when we’re triggered, there’s a chaotic line.
    BEST MOMENTS
    “Certainly, there is an awakening now. And, people are realizing so we’re putting in our own measures to self-regulate because we can’t get away from using our phone – a weapon of mass distraction.”
    “Just being in nature produces useful chemicals for the body.”
    “The stress triggers may be different but the ways our bodies react is the same.”

  • Do You Care Too Much?
    There’s always a danger of consuming too many things – from Netflix binge-watching to heavy drinking to overeating. The same applies to the concept of Care. So, what are the dangers it brings when we become excessive about it? And, that’s what we’re going to discuss in this episode of Serial Stress Killer Podcast. Caring too much can lead to stress.
    Chris starts with simplifying it into 2 categories: caring for others and caring about what other people think. Then, he proceeds to demystify how each type of caring could backfire for you. Discover also how important balance is in every aspect of your life. Learn to prioritize your needs over others’ needs, know the fine line between selfishness and selflessness, and when to say no and when to say yes.
    KEY TAKEAWAYS
    2 Categories of Caring:
    Caring for others
    Caring about what other people think
    You can’t say yes to everything. You can’t indulge every request or favours from other people. You can’t just accept the perceptions and opinions of you. Learn to weigh what matters and what doesn’t.
    There are people who might take advantage of you. At first, it could be just assistance they’re asking for, then, next thing you know you’re already full-time doing what they really need to be doing. You might not be assisting them in the wrong way.
    Look after yourself first. Know what is important to you. Personal time and energy are your own resources that you have control of. Ask yourself: Are they worth giving to the other person? Improving yourself is the priority. Stop stressing yourself about others.
    How do you know if you care too much about how people think of you? “The simple answer is that if you care at all what people think about you, you probably do care too much.”
    BEST MOMENTS
    “If your happiness is at the expense of somebody else’s, then it isn’t making the world a happier place.”
    “Balance is the key. If you’re not performing at your very best in terms of mental and physical health, chances are you won’t be able to care for the important people in your life.”
    “The most important people in your life think good things about you. And, as for the rest of them, who cares?”
    “Don’t make other people’s opinions stress you out.”

  • If You Are Going Through Hell
    According to Winston Churchill, “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” BUT our host, Chris Hatchett, totally disagrees!
    So, in this episode of Serial Stress Killer Podcast, Chris presents his arguments how you should be taking this great quote from Churchill. Let’s all agree first that the ‘hell’ referred to is a metaphor we often use for the bad side of your mental state where you perceive pain, anguish, stress, etc. Chris emphasizes that NOBODY should be aiming to be at their worst. We should do everything to improve our mental health every single day. So, when you’ve seen that you’re going in the direction of your own hell just to be ablaze, veer away from it!
    KEY TAKEAWAYS
    According to Wikipedia, “hell, in many religious and folkloric traditions, is a place of torment and punishment in the afterlife.”
    If you’ve seen that you’re going to your bad mental place – hell, why would you choose to keep going? Nobody should want pain and torture.
    Most feel like staying in their own hells out of guilt or cowardice. They believed they deserved to be there and refused help from everyone around them. It’s mostly how we think, how we see difficult situations, and how unreachable are constructive solutions when we’re stressed.
    Chris’ mindset: “If you’re going through hell, turn left, turn right, or zigzag for a bit.” Find a way out of your mental hell. Be introspective. Look at what could be wrong and right. Listen to other people.
    BEST MOMENTS
    “If there is a place of damnation waiting for you, why hurry to get there early?”
    “Stress is a mental condition often caused by a lack of healthy perspective or inability to make choices.”

  • The 3 S’s To Combat Stress With BeatyMART Co-Founder Millie Kendall
    Shout, Sleep and Share! What a weird combination of ways to fight stress from our guest, Millie Kendall. In today’s episode of Serial Stress Killer Podcast, Chris Hatchett chats with Millie about how she copes with stress inside her business and her personal life. Millie Kendall is the Co-Founder and Marketing Director of BeautyMART, and the CEO of The British Beauty Council. Ever since she has been changing the public’s negative perception of the beauty industry.
    She says stress can happen in building and growing a business. But, instead of just waiting for stress to happen and finding solutions to unload yourself of it, Millie advises that you do everything to avoid stress beforehand by sticking to your visions and maintaining healthy habits. Find out also how important is sleep and morning routines are for Millie.
    KEY TAKEAWAYS
    Millie says that she copes with stress by her own stress cocktail of 3 S’s - shouting a lot, sleeping a lot, and sharing (talking) a lot. Sleep is the most important thing for her.
    The different kinds of stress Millie encounter in her business:
    “There’s a stress of losing control and not being able to be in charge of my own destiny, of my own business, of my own brand, of my own company, and the people that work with me. And there’s the stress of starting something new – laying the bricks and not knowing what’s gonna happen next.”
    You can start a business without being stressful. Millie advises to be clear about the vision but you have to be flexible with the path you’re going.
    Stick to your routines. When you’re out of sync or small changes happen, you get stressed. Millie values her morning routine so much.
    The beauty industry is still yet to be respected and recognized they contribute big to the economy. Millie wants a ‘makeover’ for it and builds its well-deserved reputation.
    One of the stresses that could be brought by social media is the threat to cybersecurity. Many people put too much information out on the web so they should know the limits.
    When something needs to be done, commit to it. Millie finds it stressful afterwards if she happens to flake.
    BEST MOMENTS
    "I don't stress about big stuff because I can't really control it."
    “As long as you got a firm goal, you might not get there in the way you think you do but you will get there.”
    “I think a lack of control… I think that’s probably one of the most stressful things… not owning your own space and not being able to protect yourself.”
