00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: Jump Mission with Jones and Amanda, our next guests. Tale

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,559
Speaker 1: of surviving a wildfire during an ultra marathon made her

3
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,559
Speaker 1: a household name around Australia and the world, but these

4
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: days she'd rather be known for something else, and that

5
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: is being happy. She knows a thing or two about

6
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: overcoming a crappy time. She's written a book filled with

7
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: tips on how we can embody happiness. Too thrilled to

8
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: welcome to Rea Pit Hello, Terrea.

9
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 2: Good morning, Dames, Amanda, Hey you go go et Charia.

10
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 3: You are always in my mind. You are my spirit

11
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 3: guide and since I met you and I've read your book,

12
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 3: I just I'm always inspired by you. My thing is

13
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 3: whenever I'm doing something and it's looking tough, like what

14
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 3: would Charia do? It could be anything, And in no

15
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 3: way am I trivializing anything that you went through. But

16
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 3: I often think about you running through there and there's

17
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 3: that point where you just keep going and I think,

18
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 3: what will I do? What would you do?

19
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 2: Ah?

20
00:00:58,040 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: It's interesting.

21
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 3: Good yesterday you helped me in my decision between long

22
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 3: grain and shr grain rice. So that's something which one

23
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 3: did you go for? I went with the long.

24
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 2: Grain, Ah mate an impact all around the world.

25
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: It's interesting that the title of your book, Happy and

26
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: Other Ridiculous Aspirations, is it. I think our society has

27
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: this giant pursuit of happiness. But it's unrealistic to be

28
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: happy all the time, isn't it.

29
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 2: Yeah? And I guess that's why I call it a

30
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 2: ridiculous aspiration, because I think a lot of people think

31
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 2: that when they get a job promotion, or when they'll

32
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 2: get married, or when they'll buy their house and when

33
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 2: they move into their apartment, that then they'll be happy.

34
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 2: And I think there's very singular destination of happiness. I

35
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: think it's about finding lightheartedness, joy and contentment in our everyday,

36
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: ordinary life. And I don't think there's been a better

37
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 2: time to do that than this crazy year that we're

38
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 2: going through.

39
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: It's interesting that in the news last week, Nick Coatsworth,

40
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: who's the Deputy Chief Medical Officer, said, you know what

41
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: to everyone in lockdown if you're struggling, can I suggest

42
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: you get up in the morning and you make your bed?

43
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: And interestingly you say the same thing.

44
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, it's like it's one of those cornerstone habits

45
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 2: that you know, if we get into the habit of

46
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 2: doing it. It makes us feel like, well, if we

47
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 2: can make our bed, maybe we can drink two letters

48
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 2: of water. And if we can drink two letters of water,

49
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 2: then maybe we can eat a bit healthier today. And

50
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 2: it's a really simple, fundamental thing that we can all

51
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 2: start by doing. Suggests like you can make your bed,

52
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: or you can go outside for a walk, or you

53
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 2: cann't get up and think about three things that you're

54
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 2: grateful for. All of these things are really easy, really

55
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 2: simple strategies that we can do to make ourselves just

56
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 2: that little bit happier.

57
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 3: And you're happy because you're a little baby boy. We

58
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 3: haven't spoken congratulations on little Rahiti. It's Rahiti, is it?

59
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 2: That's right? Heavy? Thank you so much. Well, yeah, we

60
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 2: had creative bushfires down on the south coast where I live.

61
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,839
Speaker 2: Then I had a baby, and then coronavirus. Who every

62
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 2: kid is So it's pretty a pretty wild year for me.

63
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 2: But thak good. I've been enjoying only spending time with

64
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 2: my family.

65
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: So what I that is one of the tenants isn't

66
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: of happiness as you say, is is take pleasure and

67
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: gratitude in the time.

68
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 2: You have exactly and not being so caught up in

69
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 2: the present or in the past, but trying to enjoy

70
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 2: each moment. So I like to spend my mornings. I

71
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 2: wake up, my kids are up bloody earlier, go up

72
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 2: this morning a quarter to five, and I like to

73
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 2: just try and spend that time with them and try

74
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 2: and enjoy them as much as I can, rather than

75
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,679
Speaker 2: thinking about how I wish I got more sleep, or

76
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 2: how I wish they slept in a little longer, because

77
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 2: there's nothing I can do about that, that's right.

78
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: So it's choosing your response to things. I was very

79
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: interested that you say you've got a strong desire to

80
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: punch people who say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger?

81
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: What is it about that phrase that winds you up.

82
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 2: It's just one of those partitudes that I guess well

83
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 2: meaning people might say to someone, And it's not necessarily

84
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 2: helpful if some to receive the kids a diagnosis, to

85
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 2: goay to them, hey, well, you know, what doesn't kill

86
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: you makes you're stronger, you know. Instead, a better thing

87
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 2: to say for someone that's going through a hard time,

88
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 2: whether that's they've gone through a relationship breakdown or they've

89
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 2: been burnt during an ultra marath time, we'll go to say, hey,

90
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 2: what you what you're going through right now is really crappy,

91
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 2: but I'm here for you. And nextquation, you're going to

92
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 2: drop over some chicken soup on Thursday. I hope that's okay.

93
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 3: No, you're gonna drops around some chicken soup.

94
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 2: No, I thought you're going to drop it to me.

95
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 3: I'm happy to write down and see you true and

96
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,279
