Author Lisa Stevenson joins Pete in today's episode of Fire In The Belly to discuss why she left her job as a nurse to pursue a new career in writing and tells of how she created the health and wellness journal for children called ‘My Happy Mind Journal’  to help them with gratitude, positivity and mindfulness. Together they cover everything from the importance of asking for help, the benefits of the Happy Mind Activity Journal and why sending love to people will always make you feel better.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Ask for help if you think you need it, even if you might feel you are being silly. Ask the people around you for their advice and get them to help you through your struggles. There are so many ways to teach yourself things these days that make your life easier.
• Showing gratitude is not about only appreciating the big things in your life. It is also about showing gratitude for the pillow that you’re sleeping on, having warm water to wash your face with, your shampoo to wash your hair etc. Show gratitude for absolutely everything that you have, even the minor things because unfortunately, not everybody has these. You have to be grateful for the small things and then you can be even more grateful for the big things that happen in life.
• So much of a childs entertainment these days comes from a mobile phone. The fact that My Happy Mind Activity Journal allows children to pick up a pencil and color improves behaviour and is something new and exciting for them.
• Everyone is a working progress no matter how old you are. Whether you’re ten or one hundred and ten, you always find out something new about yourself such as new interests or new skills that you didn’t realise you had or were good at. Everyday is a learning day.
• Love and happiness are two of the things people forget that they have. People need to remember to give love more often, even to people that you may not think deserve it. Send them love and it makes you feel a lot better.

BEST MOMENTS
