The Positivity Workbook for Teens by
Discover the secret to positivity by tapping into your inner strengths! As a teen, your brain is changing every day. You're more aware of the challenges and difficulties of life. You're questioning everything. And you can tell when grownups are being fake or dishonest. All of these sudden realizations can be overwhelming, and as a result, you may fall into a "negativity trap." And while there's nothing wrong with a little sarcasm or skepticism--after a while, negative thoughts have a way of turning inward, causing stress, damaging your self-esteem, and crushing your confidence. So, how can you start building the real positivity you need to be happy, healthy, and in control of your life? You only need to look inside yourself. In this unique workbook, you'll learn to tap into the power of your own character strengths--such as bravery, creativity, being a good friend, perseverance, honesty, and more--in order to build self-confidence, boost a positive attitude, and cope with the inevitable stress of life. You'll also find out how to spot strengths in those around you, such as friends, family, teachers, and more. Finally, you'll discover how your own character strengths can help bolster your engagement in life, enhance positive and healthy relationships, give your life greater meaning, increase your accomplishments, and even improve your physical health. This isn't a workbook to help you be sunny and happy for the benefit of others. It's not a workbook to help you ignore the difficulties and injustices of our world. What it is is a toolkit for finding your own inner strengths and using those strengths to be your very best.
