FIND WHAT YOU LOVE!
Me again. Now you know you're totally, 100 per cent unique, we're going to open things up a little bit so that we can begin to find out more about the true you. This does not involve opening your stinky sock drawer. It's about finding the things that stop the world for you. That make you smile. The things you love doing. Just like I love massive burgers, fast cars and video games. (And running really, really fast, of course!) When I'm playing a video game, I go into an autopilot world, where nothing else matters but the ‘now’. That's really important to me. Shutting out the rest of the world so I can breathe. I get that feeling when I run, too. Or when I finish a race. Even when I take my dogs, Luna and Bella for a walk.
I love my lucky charms, the items I carry on races, for the same reason. I always have a St Christopher charm and an army badge that my grandpa wore on me when I run an important race. Either in a pocket or, when I don't have one of those, I tape them to my leg. They make me feel calm. (Except that time I dropped them out of my waistband and had reporters and fellow athletes looking all over the track for them! Luckily, they were handed into lost property. Phew!)

FAST FACT:
Previous Women's World Marathon Record-Holder Paula Radcliffe has her own lucky charm. She uses the same safety pins to attach her running number to her vest for every race.
What I'm trying to say is, it's good to find out what you love. What makes you feel good, calm, safe and happy. The best way to start doing that is to learn to read your mind...bear with me on this one. You are, at present, reading a book. Now what if I convinced you that you could read yourself like a book? Sounds silly but trust me. Anyone can learn to do it and it's a great way to check in with yourself so you can take care of yourself. Especially with all those thoughts swirling around in your head.
You might imagine that I’ve become a Mysterious Moustachioed Magician in a cape, ‘reading’ your mind While trying to stop a squirmy rabbit into a top hat for my next trick. Even though sometimes I do have a moustache, this isn't quite what I mean.
What I mean is, there aren't any magic tricks to get through life (unfortunately).

First, I read the question carefully. It asks what stops the world for Jonnie. That means I need to find something he really enjoys. Next, I look around the text to find where Jonnie mentions his feelings. I notice the part about him playing video games. It says that when he is playing, “nothing else matters but the now”. This tells me that playing video games stops the world for Jonnie.
