More teens than ever (especially girls) are experiencing symptoms of anxiety.  As a society our goal should not be to get rid of a child's anxiety or the experiences that create fear; instead we should be teaching them how to tolerate ALL of their feelings and to be more resilient.   It is possible to understand how fear operates in the physical, emotional and spiritual realms and what actions can help strengthen our inner calm and help children to thrive.

Self-awareness is defined as “conscious knowledge of one’s own character, feelings, motives and desires.”  When looking at this statement from a business or career perspective,  this sounds rather soft – something relevant if your professional aspirations are to be a psychologist or HR professional, but certainly not as critical as the “hard stuff” like experience, skills or credentials after your name. Right? Wrong!  As a former Critical Care Paramedic turned entrepreneur and leader I have learned that  in the hierarchy of factors most important to career success, self awareness would rank number #1 Our guest for this interview is Gens Johnson. As a Mindset Success Coach her primary focus is helping people learn how to THINK accurately. Gens believes Everything starts in our minds. The quality and success of our lives is directly related to the quality and accuracy of our thoughts. To raise a powerful girl, we must be a powerful women. It is our example that the girls in our lives will follow.  We can "say" anything we want to say but if our actions do not align with what we speak the girls in our lives will not do what we are instructing.They will do what we do. Science has proven this over and over again with multiple studies.

“You’re always … [uncooperative]!”. “You never … [pick up your clothes]. How many times a day do you find yourself saying or thinking these kinds of things about your kids? Or these kinds of things about yourself: These are examples of what communication experts call dis-empowering language: negative thoughts or words we may take for granted as part of our everyday vocabulary. It’s a type of language that leave us feeling more like pawns in someone else’s game, rather than masters of our own destiny. Often when we use dis-empowering language, it’s a direct reflection of dis empowered feelings we may have, which commonly arise under stress. Although the statements above might seem harmless, dis-empowering language can have a profound effect on the feelings and behaviors of our children and ourselves.
