In a brand new episode of the podcast I discuss the five tactics that can help you become a more positive person.Not only are these great habits to incorporate into your life, they are also proven to reduce physical stress, strengthen coping mechanisms and encourage an overall feeling of calm.Positive thinking and being more positive are frequently cited as being helpful, especially when experiencing depression and anxiety, but it’s easier said than done. And someone telling you to ‘be more positive’ can be as effective as telling someone to ‘calm down’. Hopefully what this episode does is offer a little more insight into the ‘how’ to be more positive. All the tactics are free and none take more than a few minutes.This podcast was inspired by the feedback I had from you for the last few Bullet Points episodes where we’ve discussed overwhelm, mental health and burnout so I hope you find it helpful. To join the closed Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.Hey!

It’s ok not to be ok.In a brand new episode of the podcast I discuss my mental health diagnosis of severe depression and anxiety back in 2016 and why it was so helpful.I’d always feared this kind of diagnosis would signpost me as a failure, but it actually signposted my way out of a lifetime of negative thinking, self-sabotaging behaviour and unhappiness.When I look back and ask myself if there’s anything I wish I’d done differently, it’s that I’d have asked for help earlier. Instead I spent years powering through, pushing it away and minimising how bad things were until eventually it all caught up with me and I had no choice but to address it.This podcast was prompted by the response to the video I posted on #IGTV about my mental health and as not everyone who follows me on social listens to the show - and vice versa - I wanted to share that audio again as the second half of the episode. It also contains the five books that I have found most helpful in understanding my own mental health issues but also understanding other people and what they may be going through too.The books featured are: Lost Connections by @johann.hariThe Four Tendencies by @gretchenrubinYou Are a Badass by @jensinceroFirst, We Make the Beast Beautiful by @_sarahwilson_How to Survive the End of the World by @technicallyronTo find this episode simply click the link in my bio or type ‘The Emma Guns Show’ into your preferred podcast platform.To join the closed Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.Hey!

James King is a writer, film critic and broadcaster who joins me to talk about his new book Be More Keanu.

It’s been a year since I had breast reduction surgery and when I decided to have this operation I thought it was going to be life-changing, but it wasn’t.It turns out that if I wanted to change my life, undo self-sabotaging behaviours and really address my issues with my own body image, it wasn’t something I could outsource - this needed to be an inside job. So, that’s what the last 12 months have been about confronting and addressing demons, being honest with myself and making changes for my long-term mental, emotional and physical health.I’m made this video/audio because I receive messages daily about my breast reduction surgery, but in recent months I’ve been also been receiving messages about my weight loss, in the main along the lines of ‘how have you done it?’ and it feels impossible to talk about one without mentioning the other.If you do have questions about breast reduction surgery or anything else discussed in this video please do feel free to comment or please know that my DMs are open.Trigger warning: I am aware that some of what I have mentioned in this video may be triggering for some viewers. It is never my intention to create content that will upset, offend or alienate, but this is the only way I knew how to articulate my own personal journey and I hope you don’t mind me using my platform to do so. Mentioned in the #IGTV:@hasteskitchen The 7 Day Basket.
