Kat Williams Styling

  As mentioned before, I've found that exercise has really helped with boosting my mood and making me feel physically and mentally stronger, but I also wanted to go into what else I’ve done to help. I’ve been meaning to write about this for a while, but my blogs are quite organic as to what I write each week. I’ve been making a real effort to spend my time more productively I’ve been reading more in the evenings before bed. This has a two-fold effect of not looking at my phone before I go to sleep, which in turn helps me sleep better. I’m currently reading Untamed by Glennon Doyle and it’s certainly make me think about lots of different things in my life, definitely worth a read! Using my artistic skills and trying to do more painting (I actually studied art and did a sculpture degree) has also been a focus, mostly watercolour for the moment as it’s quite quick to do. But I might try using some of my fancy felt tip pens I bought a few years ago and see what else I can do. I thi...

As you may have noticed, for a while now I have not posted a lot on how my personal styling business is going. The truth is it’s been put on the back burner for a little while.  The previous couple of months have been difficult for me, I just couldn’t seem to concentrate on building my business when I was (and still am) dealing with a lot of stress and anxiety from my old job that I lost at the beginning of lockdown. That and the fact that I’ve been in a new job for a couple of months now, and while it is only part time, it’s every day (I miss having a day off in the week!) and I’ve recently upped my hours until Christmas. Who doesn't need extra cash at the moment! I've also been wondering if now is the right time for this business, people aren't going out at the moment (man I miss going out!) and probably not spending any money either. Writing this down, it all looks like excellent excuses/delay tacktics for not pushing on with the business, and I agree, but for me I know ...

  I know, I know, I've been crap at doing the blog, yet again! I need to get into a better habit of writing it, maybe set aside a certain time and day to do, but in my heart of hearts I know I'm not that organised. If you saw my instragram post the other day, you'll know I've been pretty absent on there too. I just couldn't face posing for a picture each day, I'd make the effort to get dressed in nice clothes, but I couldn't face doing a smile when I wasn't feeling it (see above photo for a very forced smile, which I couldn't bring myself to use). I had a difficult time couple of weeks, as I'd mentally preppared myself to be in a different situation, but an email pulled me back to where I didn't want to be and I found in hard.  However, over the last few days I noticed a change in my attitude. An email I sent made me feel like I had some control back and I've just felt more confident. It could also be the fact that I've been doing exe...
