PARENT TIP OF THE MONTH
By age 18, teens have one of two choices to make: to responsibly manage their academic, personal and professional lives as independent adults or remain forever dependent upon their parents and third party surrogates to survive.
As a parent, think about what you can do today to help your teen prepare for adulthood.
Tip: To help your teen develop good decision making skills, encourage the use of a pros-and-cons list. On a sheet of paper, have your teen list all of the pros and cons of an important decision he or she must make. Let them work independently. When the teen finishes the list, ask him to tell you what he discovered. You might be surprised what your teen learned, as well as what decision he or she will make!
20-SOMETHING WOMEN TIP OF THE MONTH
Tip: Are you looking for Mr. Right, finding Mr. Wrong? Stop, listen, and look ahead! Ask yourself: What do I want in life? Someone who is authentic, who believes in what I believe--or just a warm body?
If its a warm body you're looking for, be safe and stay emotionally detached.
But if you're really looking for Mr. Right--then be honest with yourself and with him. Try that pros-and-cons list idea (see Parent Tip). See if his positives outweigh his discernible negatives. Remember: you can't change him--not now, and certainly not after you say I Do.
Ask yourself: Do I like what I see now, as is? If the answer is No--move on, and avoid entanglement!
MIDLIFE WOMEN IN TRANSITION TIP OF THE MONTH
Tip: the second-half of life is the best half of life. Do you know why? Until now, you were externally driven, attempting to meet the expectations of others: parents, husbands, kids--even the Jones' next door.
In midlife, you become more internally driven, more spiritual.
Find one thing to do this month that helps you find the Spiritual You. Take a moment to meditate, read an inspirational book, walk along the beach, or hike the forest. Then listen to your inner peace and your inner voice! And act on both, as soon as possible!
