Hello students, if you’re reading this, it means you’re open to change.

I’ll like to commend you on that. I’m proud of you.

The resources and links in the rest of the resources are CONTENT, but the CONTEXT is more important. Here is context and 3As you must remember for lasting, consistent change:

At your age, there are many stressors: family, expectations, friendships, trying to fit in, etc.

Some of you don’t have the best environments to study/pursue your passions.

If you’re serious about making a positive change, or overcome your struggles and failures, here are 3As you must do your best to control:

Awareness All positive change begins with awareness. You must be aware of what is the problem or limiting belief that is holding you back.

This awareness is created primarily through:

• Mentors/People that experience going through similar struggles
• Reading articles/books/listening to podcasts
• Intentional reflection through reflective journalling (what happened + why did it happen + what can I do to improve)

Action

After awareness is raised, you have to take action. Action is what leads to new habits and long term change. This process is called Neuroplasticity. Watch this 2 min video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELpfYCZa87g&t=3s

Here are some tips to keep you taking action:

• Set small daily intentions (this can be as simple as journalling or sleeping earlier. Or any small habit that you want to make in your words or actions)
• Journal your progress
• Get a good friend to be an accountability buddy (check/update with each other daily on whether your some goal is done. Have some fun consqeunces if its not done)
