As your teens head into their second trimester, it's a perfect time to talk about bullying. Empower both the bully and the bullied by shifting the focus from victimhood to self-empowerment. By recognizing that everyone has the power to choose their thoughts and actions, we can help teens handle bullying with confidence and empathy.
Happiness is often influenced by the equation: Expectations - Reality = Level of Happiness. While we can't change reality, we can adjust our expectations to find greater peace and joy. Byron Katie’s wisdom reminds us, "When we fight with reality, we lose. But only every time." Instead of focusing on others’ behavior, we can raise our own standards, modeling the behavior we wish to see—especially with teens. This Thanksgiving, boost your happiness by lowering expectations of others and raising expectations of yourself.
