But you... you worry a little bit because you have kids.

2:22

What kinds of things do you do to make yourself feel more relaxed?

2:27

Well, I think, like you said,

2:30

one useful thing to do could be to try to be rational.

2:36

So, to think that what you're worried about probably isn't that important or...

2:44

or likely to happen.

2:46

Yeah. So, you're quite chilled, as you said.

2:48

That must be nice for your friends.

2:50

Yes.

2:51

And if you have, like you said, a friend who worries about everything,

2:55

how do you help them?

2:56

Finding maybe a distraction.

2:58

Like something that makes you feel good.

3:01

Like a TV programme that you love.

3:03

Or seeing friends that love you, that can make you feel more relaxed.

3:10

Mindfulness techniques as well.

3:12

Maybe jigsaws.

3:13

I've talked about puzzles in the past.

3:16

Do you have any other tips?

3:18

No. These are all very good ideas.

3:20

Thank you.

3:22

Yeah, I think it can be useful to have something that distracts you.

3:26

Like maybe drawing.

3:28

Listening to music, playing an instrument can help.

3:31

Something that just kind of takes that time away.

3:36

It takes your mind off the stress, yeah.
