Today’s episode kicks off a new Life After 12th theme on how young people can overcome false limiting beliefs that cause self-sabotage. We’ll define the difference between the mind and a mindset, explore why the mind is powerful enough to dictate actions, and why it can also be dangerous when it treats false perceptions as reality. If your teen or twenty-something is being influenced by negative, harassing thoughts that damage their self-esteem and keep them from making progress toward flourishing futures, this episode will help you understand what’s going on and why it matters.𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀Use these prompts to start a discussion with your teen or 20-something on this issue:Do you think people can become convinced of something negative about themselves that’s not true?How do you think that impacts how they live?𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗽𝗜𝗻𝗠𝗲 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆In just six weeks, students identify a True Job Match, create a thorough plan to get into the job, and address false, limiting beliefs so they’re free and clear to move forward with confidence.
