imagine this you’re in bed you’re tired
you want to sleep but you can’t before
you sleep there are some things you have
to do you go downstairs to check if the
front doors locked you check on their
bed twice to make sure if there’s anyone
there to make sure there’s no one there
you open up the closets to make sure if
it’s empty you repeat these actions
again it sounds crazy right or how about
you say a minor joke to your friend at
school but when you get home you start
to worry that it might have actually
offended that friend you think and worry
about this for hours you can’t think of
anything else it sounds pretty funny
right like who in the world would worry
like this me at least I was me a few
years ago though I was a warrior and
still am to a lighter degree in fact I’m
worried right now about this speech but
anyways everyone worries according to
the world health organization roughly
one in four people diagnosed with
worries sometime in their lifetime so
that can mean 25 people in this room
right now are serious warriors so today
I would like to introduce a few ideas
and strategies on how to deal with
worries you see at first I thought the
only one on this planet that why we like
the way I did but as I said everyone
worries but there’s a difference from
worrying about oh no did I forget my
homework today and worries that don’t
let you do anything the difference the
problem is that not many people can
recognize the difference between the two
minor worries and overwhelming ones the
difference is the big worries don’t only
affect you mentally but also affect you
physically for example some people vomit
and view of extremely sick while others
can’t sleep cly law or become super
silent all of a sudden but then why is
it the many people are we one reason is
because people really scare
something for example the dock dogs
injections these are called phobias I
remember what my claustrophobic granddad
told me three years ago before he passed
away that his scared to die because he’d
been stuck in a narrow coffin this is an
example of for our phobias another
reason people may worry is called
separation anxiety some people are
constantly worried about something bad
happening to their parents and then
there are people that Bobby and think
about the same things over and over
again such as did I lock the door this
morning or is there someone under my bed
these are called obsessive-compulsive
disorders so then these are just
examples of some reasons why people may
everyone’s different and everyone’s
severity of and everybody and everyone’s
every civility of these values are
different as well but don’t worry
because here are some strategies on how
to deal with it one really good strategy
is to talk to someone you can think as
much as you want in your brain about
your worries but if you talk to someone
it can solve the problem but then if you
constantly talk to someone they might go
they might get sick of your worries and
go not to never listen to you anymore so
then creating a wall a method called War
II time is another effective method War
II time is 10 to 15 minutes in a day
where you can talk about all your
worries to a trustworthy person such as
an adult or a close friend but outside
War II time you are not allowed to talk
about your worries whatsoever and this
rule does seem very restricting but
believe it or not your mind learns to
put your worries aside and once you put
your worries aside you start to realize
that your worries aren’t important after
all another way to deal with Robbie’s is
divided on paper writing is just as good
as talking to someone you can smash all
your thoughts onto paper and it makes
you realize the worries aren’t important
and now
surely you can you should imagine
yourself kicking out your worries out of
your brain the way you imagined it can
depend on the person the way I did was
to literally imagine a soccer boot
kicking out the lobbies from my brain or
you can just do something to distract
your being from lobbying such as
exercising playing a sport reading a
book whatever you enjoy to do and now
last but not least imagine your bodies
as a singular character draw it up in
your brain and give it a name such as
mrs. stressed too much or mr. Whalley
pants this drawing was actually drawn by
my brother when he was a young kid maybe
five years old and you know what his
owari himself but anyways my wall my
name’s aren’t the best so you need to
think of your very own ones that are way
better than mine and once you’ve thought
of your worries as a singular character
and it’s easier for you to relate to so
now imagine this you’re back in bed and
the wall we start to come to your brain
again is there someone under my bed
above my bed next to my pillow above my
pillow outside the window outside the
door in the closet you get the message
and once you worry again like this just
use the techniques I shared with you
today and before in this speech I’ll
just like to say one last thing war visa
just like plants if you water a plant it
will grow bigger and bigger if you give
more thought into your voice it will
grow bigger and bigger and bigger and
bigger in your head if you stop watering
a plant it will die out same with
worries thank you [Applause]
