Give Your Teen Tools to Guide Their Brain Instead of be Held Captive By It - LAUNCH
Jan 10, 2025I heard a pastor say the other day that Neuro Science is finally catching up to what God has known all along. This is so true. The Bible has so many references and advice that lines up exactly with how the brain works.
- "...but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." (Romans 12:2)
- "...and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." (2 Corinthians 10:5)
- "...and they think about it day and night." (Pslam 1:2)
- "Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life." (Proverbs 4:23)
- "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things." (Philippians 4:8)
The awesome thing about Neuro Science is we now know scientific ways to support the "renewing of your mind" and "take captive every thought" and "guard your heart". A huge part of my Neuro Coaching certification course was about learning methods and questions to ask individuals to guide their brain and subconscious to alignment and freedom within 67 days. I loved my certification course because we practiced on each other and each coaching session was a priceless opportunity to grow. I actually started exchanging coaching with one of my peers for practice and our times together have become so special and vital to my growth as a person and mother that we have still continued our weekly sessions together.
How our brain works doesn't have to be a foreign concept to your teenager. It can be a tool that they use every day of their life.
"Renewing your mind" does not have to be a cycle of guilt and beating themself up for your teenager. It can be an exciting cycle of discovery and growth.
Life does not have to be a constant yo-yo of progress and days of beating oneself up because of a mess up, or conflict, or unresolved situation. Life can be a forward journey towards becoming a new person WITH bumps, and conflict and new circumstances.
Life does not have to be "busy and stressful" in order for your teenager to find purpose and meaning. FOMO does not have to control your decisions and the decisions of your teens. Life can be peaceful, meaningful, and designed with careful choice.
People pleasing does not have to be the norm. People pleasing does not have to bring guilty feelings that cloud over your teenager (or yourself).
The 8 week LAUNCH Group Coaching Course is designed to give your teenager an introduction into how their brain works and give them tools to guide their brain into creating hope, freedom from fear, and emotional stability.
