Thinking Outside The Box with Tim and Britt Box

It's been exactly a year since we uploaded the very first episode of Thinking Outside The Box, and what a year it's been!

The pandemic is still a thing, anxiety and depression amongst young people is still on the rise and Britt and Tim Box are still doing their podcast.

A few weeks ago we put the call out on our socials for you, our beloved listeners to ask us YOUR questions.

In this episode we answer those questions and more.

Envy and Jealousy are powerful emotions that we all experience at some point in our life, but what are the impacts on our mental health when we go too deeply into them?

In this episode Tim and Britt draw from their own experiences to offer a slightly different view of envy and why it can be a positive emotion when used correctly.

Along the way Tim reveals what he bought with his Xmas vouchers, Britt gives an impromptu ASMR session and we find out who each others' free pass is!

Enjoy!

We stand poised on the brink of a new year and many of us will be making resolutions and setting our goals and targets for 2022. 

However, with all the pressure we receive to be better and do more, what is the potential impact on our mental health and how do we set realistic, achievable and empowering goals for the next 12 months without setting ourself up for the negative emotional impact of potential failure.

In this episode we discuss our thoughts on new year's resolutions and give our views on how to do it the right way. 

Along the way Britt talks about her desire to crush a water melon between her thighs, Tim explains the value of thinking about thinking about doing things, and Britt resolves to smash the patriarchy.

Do you ever get the feeling you're the most emotional person in the room?

In this episode we discuss those times when we feel like our emotions are dialled up to 11, what it means about our mental health, and how we can manage our wellbeing so that we get back in control of our own responses. 

As usual we bring our unique blend of (semi) professionalism and personal experience and along the way we explain how to do an Italian accent without talking, and find out what annoys Britt most about Tim being a hypnotist.

Here it is! The topic that NOBODY asked us to talk about.

Today is 10th October 2021 and it's World Mental Health Day, a day to educate, raise awareness and dispel any stigma around positive discussions about mental health.

In this episode we talk about the current state of Mental Health Awareness: what we agree with, what we disagree with, and what we feel still needs more attention.

When was the last time you unplugged from the matrix?

So much of our time is spent instantly and constantly connected to everyone and everything that it can be hard to truly switch off from it all. 

On our recent trip away on the Disney UK Staycation cruise, we were put in a situation we weren't sure how to cope with; absolutely no signal or wifi. But, spoiler alert, the world kept turning and nothing of note happened in the time we were physically unable to check our phones. 

We wanted to discuss the positive effect of completely switching off from it all had on our mental health and emotional well-being as well as giving our top tips on how to unplug every so often. 

As well as this, we discuss Britt's lemon themed prison persona, and why Tim has an issue with Wagamama's.

We hope you enjoy this one.

And, as always, keep thinking outside the box. 

Britt & Tim.

Suicide is the biggest killer of men under the age of 50. It seems to be the unspoken truth that while women are more likely to seek help in times of emotional distress, men may not feel as open discussing it.

We all manage our mental health, just as we would our physical, but men's mental health specifically is a topic that is thankfully getting more attention in the media in recent years. 

In this episode we talk about the negative effects toxic masculinity plays in men's mental health, why 'man up' may be one of the most unhelpful terms in the English vocabulary and how we all have a part to play in helping the men in our lives. 

As usual, we go off topic just a touch to lighten the mood as we discuss dinosaurs on the moon, Tim's 'tradesman' telephone voice and Britt likens Adam Driver to a fridge.

Our close relationships can have a huge impact on the state of our mental health. So how do we manage our own emotional wellbeing in the face of a potentially challenging relationship?

In this episode we talk about all the many and varied lessons we have learnt from going through our fair share of bad relationships and explain what we did differently this time and why we believe our relationship works.
