The speaker started it off by giving us introduction about emotions and how he deals with emotions, then talks about physical health and mental health. After the introduction he presents his arguments from a very broad and vague ideas to specific ideas. For an example his first argument was why we value our physical health a lot more than our mental health, his next argument was why psychological health was important and last one was why we should care about the little things that contribute to negatively affecting our psychological health. Why I think the Speaker did this was because he wanted us to have a good idea about the general information before he goes in and talks about the specific information.

And he then asked could you imagine saying to someone with a broken leg to walk it off.

I honestly believe that I have benefited from watching/listening to his ted talk, since he has given many valid reason to why it is important to take care of my emotions and my mind. Another reason why he did convince me was because he provided a lot of fact and various situations or examples where emotional hygiene could be a big factor in just living life. Let’s start off with his first argument about which was why we should value psychological health as much as physical health. He says “We sustain psychological injuries even more often than we do physical ones, injuries like failure or rejection or loneliness. And they can also get worse if we ignore them, and they can impact our lives in dramatic ways. “. What he said was true as it does get dramatically worse if we continue to ignore them, one really good reason is that the three injuries he listed contributes a lot to anxiety and depression. With that being said anxiety and depression doesn’t just make you feel bad but it can affect you physically as it basically makes your immune system function worse making you a lot more prone to having diseases. On to his main argument which was why we should care about psychological health and what can happen to you when you neglect it. In the ted talk he
