Tarek Kareem Harris – Worries are Bullies. Overcome stress and worries with Peaceful Places- the Mental Wealth program

			worries act as mental bullies they push us towards negativity. It's important to reclaim the
positive side without being mindlessly happy. Ignore empty, positive motivational chatter. You're
not a tiger or a giant or some kind of magical spirit. You're a wise and worthy person. Focus on
seeing bullies, worries for what they are the irritations, not disasters, life is unfair and
unpredictable. If you've ever been teased or mildly bullied, it might be hurtful, or it might
sharpen your wits. So there's a clue in how to deal with it in future because bullying at its
extreme can affect happiness and confidence. The secret to dealing with bullies lies in losing the
		

			fear and facing them in a matter of fact, way using wit or emotional wisdom or simple facts. So if a
bully is coming towards you to steal your lunch money, you've got three options, one given to the
bully and count your blessings, just give him the money and move on. Second, delay the bully, tell
him to meet you at five o'clock.
		

			Well, third, confused and disorienting, tell him that he can take all your money and then he can
follow you home and take your car and your food as well. Looking at these three options, these are
the techniques. Firstly, the thankfulness audit. When a worrisome thought comes along, balance it
out with three things that you're grateful for every morning, write down three new things, and stick
the notes in your wall. Reflect on those things regularly. After a month you'll have a wall full of
things to be grateful for. Secondly, delaying the worries. Make every time seven o'clock on Tuesdays
and then go for it. Let the worries bother you. Because you've not fought them. You've just said
		

			they should come later on. So they'll come later on and they'll have lost a lot of their vim by then
thirdly, the circus of misfortune exaggerate the worries exaggerate to the point of absurdity so
that it can be clear that worries are just ridiculous and absurd. bonus ways to deal with worries in
this way is things like dark humor, I thoroughly recommend you look up comedians like Bill Burr or
George Carlin. While some people find it useful to embrace existentialism, life can be quite
meaningless, at least on the surface. And if you embrace that, it's actually quite liberating. In
the face of doom and helplessness. the meaninglessness of life gives you the chance to choose
		

			whatever purpose you want, and so worries become inconsequential.
