What Your Teen Will Learn in this Masterclass!

  1. How to separate facts from thoughts
    • Thoughts like "I'm not smart enough," or "I can't do this" will hold you back in your efforts. 
    • Facts like "Test on Thursday," are manageable when we are in control of our thoughts. 
  2. Managing emotions
    • It's okay to feel overwhelmed and bored when you understand how to process them. 
    • Emotions are less unpleasant when we manage them. 
    • Our emotions don't manage us when we manage them. 
  3. How to create homework protocols
    • Create a simple plan for the time between school and bed. 
    • This plan will empower you to both get things done and do the things you want. 
    • This will empower you for doing hard things as an adult. 
  4. How to motivate yourself
    • No one can motivate you but YOU!
    • What you choose to think and believe will create your motivation or lack of motivation. 
  5. What to do when you've fallen off the wagon
    • Too many times when we fall off the wagon, we choose to give up. 
    • There are ways to use past mistakes to empower you. 
    • It's never too late to get back in the driver's seat.
