@TomDaley on Anxiety, Chasing Perfection and How Knitting Habit Helps His Mental Health

Are you conscious of where the pressures you feel are coming from? Are they external or internal? Diver Tom Daley has been meditating on these different types of pressures recently, so in this chat, he and Fearne discuss the power of validating ourselves rather than waiting for others to tell us we're doing well. Plus, he explains the process he and his husband had to go to adopt as a same sex couple, and how having a son has changed his view on chasing perfection. Happy New Year to you all! We hope you are all safe and well. We would love to hear your thoughts on this first episode of Happy Place in 2022 and what you would like to see on the youtube channel this year. Tom's book is called Coming Up For Air, and it's out now. Tom Daley is a British diver who specialises in the 10-metre platform. Daley's career began aged seven when he switched from swimming to diving. Tom represented Great Britain in the 2008 Summer Olympic, being Britain's youngest competitor at 14, and the youngest from any nation to participate in a final. Among other achievements, Daley qualified for the Beijing 2008 Olympics, where he made it to the final in both events and became the youngest-ever British Olympian.
