How this book made me feel: I was very interested to check out this journal because I wanted to find out more about anxiety and how to deal with it. Her books and journals have sold well over a million copies and have been translated into more than a dozen languages worldwide.

I love that this journal helps us remember that we should always take time for ourselves and to remember that we don't have to live life at such a fast pace all the time. She’s about to start a new school and I thought it would be a good idea to dip in and out of it over the coming weeks and months. It has been proven that writing down your thoughts, feelings and concerns can help and to have a journal like Meera Lee Patel’s ‘Create Your Own Calm’ is the perfect aid to taking the first steps to taking control of your anxiety. I could see how it could help by working through all the exercises which make you think about your current situation. In a world that’s increasingly chaotic and uncertain, Create your own calm sets kids on a path to becoming emotionally resilient and helps them to take practical, positive steps towards being calm and happy.

Her illustrations are inspired by the magical mysteries of nature, the quiet stories that lace through everyday life, and the bold colours of her native India. Biography: Award-winning blogger and author of Create Your Own Happy, Becky Goddard-Hill is a former social worker and child development trainer. When she speaks of her own experience of Anxiety, I can't tell if she is meaning "in general" or if she was diagnosed with a mental illness of Anxiety. I really recommend Meera’s book to anyone, even if you don’t think you particularly suffer from anxiety. So far we’ve found it a real conversation starter helping both of us chat about our thoughts and feelings.And I honestly believe that all that work has served me so well coming into 2020 and being able to deal with the pandemic. Her other books include My Friend Fear: Finding Magic in the Unknown, as well as 3 best-selling journals: Create Your Own Calm, Made Out of Stars, and Start Where You Are. I've just received this book today and it's perfect, I'm so excited to start using it I feel like I could complete it in a day 😂🤷‍♀️ it's much better then expected, unique, inspiring and so pretty.
