Hey parents,
Have you ever heard the saying … ‘what you resist persists’?
I mean, could it really be true that, in your daughter’s attempt to push away all those unwanted things, she only attracts more unwanted things?
The father of analytical psychology, Carl Jung, suggests that in your attempt to ‘resist’ certain situations, by focusing on what you don’t want, you actually cause those unwanted things to persist, or even grow.
Welcome back the Cultivating Resilient Teens podcast where I want to invite you and your daughter to try a quick brain game with me.
You can close your eyes, or simply use your mind’s eye to visualize something you desire … a giant scoop of ice cream, a beautiful sunset, or a fun event with friends.
Now, DON’T imagine a giant pink elephant.
Okay … did a giant pink elephant just photo bomb your image?
This is just one small example of the power your daughter has over her mind.
And why two key concepts play a huge role in her ability to build confidence, integrity and resilience for all of life’s adventures.
Find the complete show notes and the two key concepts on my website, cultivatingresilientteens.com.
