In this video, individuals seeking to learn how to stop worrying and start living are offered a practical guide to differentiate between unproductive worry and constructive problem-solving. The video explains that worry is a natural but often maladaptive part of the brain's problem-solving process and suggests scheduled worry as a technique to help manage it. This involves setting aside a daily period to focus on worries, thereby confining them to a specific time and place, which is an exercise in how to stop worrying and start living. By practicing this technique, viewers are told they can expect to reduce their overall anxiety significantly, as it trains the brain to set boundaries on worry, leading to more worry-free moments throughout the day. The video aims to empower viewers with the skills to redirect their attention away from chronic worry and towards living a more engaged and fulfilling life, highlighting the journey of how to stop worrying and start living.

In therapy I use a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Systems Theory, positive psychology, and a bio-psycho-social approach to treating mental illness and other challenges we all face in life. The ideas from my videos are frequently adapted from multiple sources. Many of them come from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, especially the work of Steven Hayes, Jason Luoma, and Russ Harris. The sections on stress and the mind-body connection derive from the work of Stephen Porges (the Polyvagal theory), Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing) Francine Shapiro (EMDR), and Bessel Van Der Kolk. I also rely heavily on the work of the Arbinger institute for my overall understanding of our ability to choose our life's direction.
And deeper than all of that, the Gospel of Jesus Christ orients my personal worldview and sense of security, peace, hope, and love https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/c...
