Summary
Meditating doesn't have to mean sitting still, in fact for Stacey Solomon calming an anxious mind is about keeping her hands busy with tidying and crafting. In this chat with Fearne, Stacey also talks about body image, and where she finds her now infamous confidence to stand up to media outlets and trolls who are determined to shame her.
Stacey's book, Tap To Tidy, is out now, and has lots of brilliant ideas to help you live by the mantra 'tidy house, tidy mind'.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to Happy Place, our sacred little corner of the world where we get to be |
| 0:06.6 | ourselves, warts and all and celebrate the beauty in that. I'm Fern Cotton and today |
| 0:12.2 | I'm catching up with the gorgeous Stacey Solomon. The reason I like being meticulously |
| 0:17.7 | organised is because it does make me feel in control, it definitely does make me feel |
| 0:23.9 | like there are certain aspects of my life that I can 100% control and then I'll forget |
| 0:28.8 | about the things that I really can't. I don't know about you but I cannot start work |
| 0:32.8 | until my surroundings are neat and exactly as I want them. In fact right now I'm in |
| 0:39.0 | my little office and everything is organised perfectly. My books are all neatly slapped |
| 0:43.2 | on the shelves, my desk has all of my little note pads in piles, it's newly hoovered |
| 0:48.9 | and smells linen fresh just how I like it. I love you guys but I couldn't have started |
| 0:54.4 | chatting to you until that was done. That's definitely something Stacey and I found we |
| 0:59.0 | have in common during our conversation. In fact she's written a whole book about it called |

| 1:11.8 | resolutions, the intention to want to make an active change is great but somehow it also |
| 1:18.2 | comes with a real pressure to achieve it doesn't it? And then you obviously have a |
| 1:23.1 | go at yourself about it and feel worse if and when you don't reach the lofty heights |
| 1:28.6 | of the success you set on January the 1st. Over on the happy place app we've curated |
| 1:34.5 | the Happy Habits collection. Every day this month there is a new practice dropping that |
| 1:40.4 | will help you feel calmer and more positive this new year but in a way that feels really |
| 1:47.1 | lovely and manageable rather than blindly racing towards a huge goal this year why don't |
| 1:53.9 | you just take time out each day to focus on you and do the practices that you enjoy. Maybe |
| 2:00.6 | even a bit of tapping to help you manifest the life you want. Head to the Happy Place website |
