What causes teens to feel stressed?


You feel stressed because you are under pressure or anticipate a future event that you find threatening. Teens and children can be stressed by school, home situations, or taking on too many responsibilities.


Is stress bad for you?

Stress creates a surge in adrenaline, a hormone that prepares you to take action. Your heart beats faster, and you become more alert. This change in your body is important when dealing with threatening situations.

Everyone feels stressed at times. In the short term, stress is useful in getting you to take action. If you feel stressed most of the time, it is a well-being issue and can be detrimental to your health.


What can I do to reduce stress?

  1. Firstly, it is important to take time to relax mentally. Balance your thoughts.

  2. Take care of your responsibilities; do not put them off.

  3. Also, ask for help when you think you need it.

Whatever you do (action or inaction), Think Mind Emotional Nurturing


I have lost count of how many times I have mentioned to family, friends, and even some of my clients this month ‘It’s the story you tell yourself.’ When they say things to disempower and limit their potentials. I sometimes fall into this trap due to the language I use, but I have developed the awareness to change any unhelpful #ACTs (#Anxiety Creating Thoughts)


Do you believe you cannot cope with the unhelpful negative thoughts you are experiencing and that they will never change?


Yes, in as much as it is sometimes impossible to control the thoughts that come into your mind. You have the ability to identify and modify them. Telling yourself that the unhelpful ACTs (Anxiety Creating Thoughts) are here to stay or acting #powerless, believing that you can do nothing to alter them is precisely the reality you are creating for yourself. Indeed, how the story you tell yourself affects your wellbeing.



Remember, your thought cause your feeling and action. It is time you start changing your story. You have a choice to think otherwise. Tell yourself the opposite of your unhelpful thought and keep repeating it until you start to believe it. On the other hand, find a middle ground, start with a more realistic and balanced alternative thought between your old unhelpful belief and the new one you want in improving your wellbeing.


Do you want to learn to identify and understand your thinking style?



 
 

Hello Doer,


How are you 'being' today?


In this blog, you will find out what you are capable of doing.


Doing, in this case, means intentional thinking.


BEING + DOING = CAPABLE
BEING = DOING = CAPABLE

Unbalanced Doing


This is when you believe your unhelpful thoughts about NOT being able to think about what you want to do and make decisions about the smalls steps to follow up.


Understandably, your ‘being mind’ is claiming you lack the skills to apply your human intelligence, the attention or opportunity required to learn, or do what you want. This part of your brain honestly doesn’t know. It perceives learning new skills as a threat, especially if the result is not immediate pleasure. It can be reactive, impatient, and wants a fast outcome.


What are you capable of doing (thinking) in finding your #HERBS to a healthy and fulfilling day?

Happiness, Energy, Resilience, Balance, Self-sufficiency


The Being Mind


Okay, maybe you lack individual skills for now, and you are willing to develop them. As a baby, you learned how to walk, a new language, and other things you had no idea you could do while your thinking brain (doing mind) was still developing.


In observing my daughter, it is clear that the ‘Being’ mode is the state you mostly were as a baby. What you did most of that time as a baby was listening, observing, and accepting your thoughts in the present moment. Not knowing the name or meaning for what you might be experiencing helps you to be open to learning and neutral about what it is that you were interested in learning while approaching them with curiosity. You paid attention and might have enjoyed the process while uncertain what the result would be. This gives you a feeling of courage and confidence without being judgemental about your potential.

Balancing Being and Doing


The ‘being mind’ is mostly used as a child, and as you start to learn to think (do). The ‘being mind' can learn and get used to taking shortcuts while the ‘doing mind’ is developing. Through this process, the being mind drives into doing mode, making judgments with no or little evidence. Most individuals develop the habit of unbalanced doing, which can make them FEEL like they are powerless about their thoughts, while believing their unhelpful thoughts, avoid learning new skills, and give up.

But thinking about it logically with the evidence that others can access helpful thoughts the majority of the time while experiencing pleasant emotions. YOU KNOW YOU CAN! There is so much a child can do with their developing ‘doing mind,’ and abundance of possibilities as adults, once the brain has fully developed.


Whatever you want to become, to be, or to do is created by your thought. Your thought creates your feeling and action. If you're going to ‘be able,’ ‘be talented,’ and ‘capable of possessing’ any useful and productive skills, in feeling the way you want, accessing and changing your thoughts; first you want to learn to ‘BE’ and then balance your being with your ‘doing.’


Do you want to learn to think and feel the way YOU want?
