IDENTIFY TRIGGERS. TALK IT OUT.

GIVE THE FEELING A NAME. CHANGE YOUR BELIEFS ABOUT THE TRIGGER

YOU ARE THE BOSS OF YOUR BRAIN

YOU CAN REWIRE IT ANY TIME YOUR WANT!

THURSDAY

From ME to WE!

We need to be a part of something

IT BRINGS US JOY!

YOU MAY ALREADY BE A PART OF SOMETHING...

Photo by radimersky

As you get older it is important to stay involved

AND TO INCLUDE OTHERS

Your Brain Was Made to Connect!

ENJOY IT... DOn't disrupt it

SOCIAL MEDIA AND TEXTING ARE FUN, but face to face relationships

ARE CRITICAL TO BRAIN GROWTH AND OUR OVERALL HAPPINESS!
