You start by writing down your concerns, anxieties and uncertainties. When the box is filled with them, you can submit it to the \u2018WorryPal\u2019 platform. The platform is in charge of swapping the boxes, and later, you will receive someone else\u2019s box with their concerns. After receiving someone else\u2019s concerns, you can write down advice for them or write something to cheer them up. You must return the box to the WorryPal platform, and you will receive your own box with advice from a stranger. The WorryPal provides a secret, safe and confidential platform for the exchange of the worry boxes. This small box may help a family, a teenager or anyone who wants to be cheered up or relieved of their worries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-it-s-cool\"><span id=\"why-its-cool\"><strong>WHY IT\u00b4S&nbsp;COOL?<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>According to studies, 79 percent of our concerns are unwarranted. We doubt ourselves, feel uncertain and start becoming anxious about everything. However, do you know that the majority of our concerns will not be realized? What we need is to alleviate our scepticisms, to relieve ourselves from the disbeliefs within ourselves. That\u2019s what WorryPal does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WorryPal creates a healthy way to release anxiety and worries. Meanwhile, you are trying to think out of the box by giving others advice as well. WorryPal acts as a gateway to connect with like-minded people\u200a\u2014\u200abut also with very different ones. Feeling comfortable, secure and cared for increases our emotional intelligence. Next to that, it\u2019s inspiring and motivating to know that your replies may be helpful or even empowering to others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-images-1.medium.com\/max\/800\/1*NViJu--MXLL7RUCm-xLqtQ.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-it-has-future-growth-potential\"><span id=\"why-it-has-future-growth-potential\"><strong>WHY IT HAS FUTURE GROWTH POTENTIAL?<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>WorryPal is still a concept that needs to be realized. During the pandemic, lots of people are facing uncertainties, even depression. Especially teenagers. They may also struggle with isolation and feelings of loneliness. Writing down your worries and concerns can be easier than sharing your thoughts with someone you know. That\u2019s where WorryPal shows its future growth potential.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WHAT IT&nbsp;IS?
