As a teen, as a parent, as a human in general. The key to confidence is not being certain that there will be no negative outcomes. It's being okay with the uncertainty that negative outcomes are possible.

If we think it, we tend to think it's true. Or valuable. Or good for us.

But sometimes our thoughts our none of those things.

Once you realize that thought is more copper than 24 karat, you can let go of it and search for one that will provide more value to your life.

That one word.

I am JUST a mom. I am ALWAYS alone. I can ONLY play one song.

Adding that one word makes all the difference. Take it away and add something more positive.

I am a mom. And I love it.

I am alone. For now.

I can play one song. Wanna hear it?

Screaming at your children to get them to stop making bad choices.

Working 16 hour days to be more effective at your job.

Making all the "right" parenting choices in order to feel confident as a parent.

They might seem like the logical solution, but they ain't. #ldslifecoach

Is this ever you? It's totally me, sometimes. It causes me to miss the obvious, the easier, and the answer to my prayers (and also my aftershave, read this week's blog for that fun story).

Open your mind and you open your options.

The part of us that not only wants to be right, but wants them to know it, can sabotage the result we REALLY want which is having a good relationship with the ones we love

Do your actions in an argument suggest you prioritize the second option?

Are you a #fixedmindset or a #growthmindset thinker?

Once you've experienced change, you know it's possible.

But guess what, even if you haven't experienced it, you can still know it's possible.

It's Demo Day... for your mind.

Don't let your brain trick you into thinking that you can't make any structural changes to who you are that will get you closer to who you want to be.

In a teen/parent debate? If you want to have the upper-hand (and a productive discussion) maintain your cool. It's the difference between a disagreement and an argument.

It only takes one.

NEVER use hyperbole in an argument with your teen.

It's worse than getting trampled on by a thousand horses.

Teenage Lawyers will try and use your negative emotions to get their case thrown out.

Don't give them the ammunition. Control your emotions.

You can always be excited about the person you will be in the future.

That excitement will turn into motivation, which will turn into action, which will be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Me: Not liking yourself is a choice. And it's one you don't have to make.

You: But I got proof of why I shouldn't like myself.

Me: No, you have facts and you have your interpretation of those facts. You can choose how you interpret them.

[Firmly Founded Coaching @FirmlyFounded]

You: I am not good at anything.

Me: No, you are someone who is beginning to explore your strengths.
