Mind & Emotional Nurturing Cloud 1_edited.jpg


Now more than ever, many teenagers have problems with how they look. They have developed the habit of condemning the vessel that protects their being and coordinates all their doings. A home for their mind and emotional well-being. If you are not content with your physical appearance and cannot accept how you look, you may have a problem with body image.


What causes issues with body image?

The main cause for body image issues is the media, especially social media. Much of the media is designed to sell something or shape your thinking. Advertisers frequently use “beautiful people” to get you to buy products and services. Then your perfectionist human brain starts to compare yourself to what you see in the media.


Is having a problem with body image a serious problem?

Yes, believing in unhealthy thoughts that cause you to reject your body in a way that hurts you emotionally, physically, or mentally is a serious well-being issue. This can lead to #mybrainsaid:

  • Stress

  • Anxiety

  • Insecurities

  • Doubts

In addition to Depression, Loneliness, Low self-esteem, and other mental health issues.


What can I do if I have issues with my body image?

A good place to start is to realize that what is considered beautiful is different for every person. You can also do the following to start feeling #great:

  • Learn to be kind to yourself. It is important to have acceptance of yourself.

  • Spend time with people who make you feel good.

  • Avoid comparing yourself with others.

  • Seek professional help.




Teenagers procrastinate because they are human beings. Human brains are naturally wired to avoid undesirable situations and move toward enjoyable ones. Our natural tendency is to do what feels comfortable and enjoyable and avoid what appears to be unpleasant, difficult, or boring.


What is Procrastination?

Do you have a habit of putting off what you need to do? Do you tend to wait till the last minute before you take care of your responsibilities? If this is true for you, you may be procrastinating.


Is procrastination common?

Yes, we all procrastinate at one time or another. When it becomes a habit, procrastination can become a problem for anyone and, more so, for young people learning to manage their minds.


Why should I care if I procrastinate?

The habit of procrastinating is a well-being issue. It has been connected to #mybrainsaid stress, anxiety, insecurity, and doubts. Also, procrastinating complicates a young mind. Contributing to a tough teenage life, making you feel depressed and tired. When you continually put off things, they build up with time. The cost of this can greatly impact young lives.

How can I overcome procrastination? Procrastinating has a negative attitude towards achieving your goals.

  1. The first step is to challenge your negative #negativeBETs beliefs, expectations, and thoughts about what you want to achieve and take action.

  2. Look long term instead of short term. Instead of focusing on the reasons why you do not feel like doing something, focus on what it will cost you if you do not do it.

  3. Remember, activation before motivation. Taking a small step to engage in your activity will enable you to find a positive emotional state fuelling you towards making things happen.






Parents will always discuss how important it is that their kids become successful in life. And yet so much pressure is being put on youngsters to live a healthy life that their lives become even more complicated and stressful.


I bet you are one of many parents, guardians, carers, teachers, and coaches who places these demands on their young ones. It’s either;


  1. A mother who wants her child to learn daily functioning skills so they can be independent and act responsibly.

  2. A father who wants his child to learn sports skills so they can be athletic and probably be part of a dream team for the Olympics.

  3. A teacher or coach who wants their students to learn study skills in solving problems and have more choices in life.


Think about this! How efficient do you think your child will be dealing with all these daily demands and challenges if they are unaware of the source of their knowledge and capabilities? Just muddling through all these activities alone can burn and destroy young souls.


Now think again!


What if your child learned to nurture their brain-mind and body? How resourceful and creative will your child be then? #Ingenious


The number one benefit of Mind Emotional Nurturing is to promote positive mental health for young people by allowing constructive mental, emotional, and physical growth.


It simply helps young people learn to think and feel better by reducing stress, overcoming hardships, and resetting the brain, mind, and body in producing new positive energy. This is the first step to engaging in whatever activities lined up for #adolescents to tackle. Reaching goals, developing #healthy #relationships, and finding #meaningful and #productive ways of surviving in this world.
