Here’s to another great week!
​

Helpful Stuff & Recommendations

Last week we shared the 7 levels deep exercise to help students discover their deeper purpose and motivation for success.

Now we are very excited to share this lesson plan on how to help students build better habits and continue to reach their goals!

It’s called “How to Develop Good Habits, Reach Your Goals, and Improve Your Life”!

We are all about staying motivated and personal growth so we decided to make this lesson to help students set clear, realistic goals, monitor & adjust their progress, break bad habits & form good ones, and provide key strategies to help keep them motivated throughout the whole process.

Inspired by books by Tony Robbins, Napoleon Hill, Jim Rohn, Sean Covey, John C. Maxwell, Martin Seligman, and countless other successful mentors and coaches, we have filtered out & concentrated the strategies, wisdom, and steps needed for effective change for teens and young adults. Some topics discussed and aimed for improvement are:

• Psychology (Positive, Cognitive, Social, Behavioral, Industrial, and others)

• Psychosomatic Illness

• Positive & Negative Reinforcement and Punishment

• Behavior Modification

Everything in this lesson is worded in teen-friendly language with relatable ideas and situations adolescents would find themselves in. It also includes helpful pictures and graphic organizers for students to interact with the lessons effectively.

Some notable Daily Thought titles are:

1. The Beauty and Struggle of Self-Transformation

2. Attitude is 99% of Success...and Write it Down!

3. Hard Truths in Life We Must All Accept...But There’s Good Ones, Too!

4. It’s not your potential that matters - it’s what you actually do! (And Ways to Stay Motivated)

5. Adopt an Attitude of Gratitude!

6. Patience, Small Grasshopper (Instant Gratification VS Delayed Gratification)

7. Time Management (Don’t Spend Your Time...Invest it!)

8. Handling Failure...Because Everyone Fails at Some Point

9. Shifting from the Subconscious to the Conscious

10. Happiness is a Muscle...so Work it Out!

Every Daily Thought comes with space for students to personally reflect on the day’s lesson on how it relates to them and how they will implement the strategies and practices personally.

This lesson is designed to be worked on and reflected daily and it is very important that the participants adhere to the schedule to achieve the intended desired results!

We have made it free for a limited time so grab yours now and start helping your students become even more successful by working to build better habits daily!

A Little Inspiration

Here’s a powerful quote I heard on the Mindset Mentor podcast recently and absolutely had to share!

Preparing to do the thing isn't doing the thing.
Scheduling time to do the thing isn't doing the thing.
Making a to-do list for the thing isn't doing the thing.
Telling people you're going to do the thing isn't doing the thing.
Messaging friends who may or may not be doing the thing isn't doing the thing.
Writing a banger tweet about how you're going to do the thing isn't doing the thing.
Hating on yourself for not doing the thing isn't doing the thing. 
Hating on other people who have done the thing isn't doing the thing. 
Hating on the obstacles in the way of doing the thing isn't doing the thing.
Fantasizing about all of the adoration you'll receive once you do the thing isn't doing the thing.
Reading about how to do the thing isn't doing the thing. 
Reading about how other people did the thing isn't doing the thing. 
Reading this essay isn't doing the thing.
The only thing that is doing the thing is doing the thing.
