It can be so hard during this π· pandemic to not feel stuck and like you don't have a choice.β
β
Teens need π€ support and reminders to focus on what they DO CONTROL and to let go of what they DO NOT CONTROL. β
β
So much of our time and energy gets wasted on worrying about things we cannot change or have no power over. If your teen could benefit from a reminder of this, π» download my latest CONTROL exercise to help them re-focus and get unstuck.β

Graduation π cancelled!? So many teens will miss out on this milestone. Here's 10 ideas to make it memorable!β
β
1 - Decorate your space with homemade or ordered decorations π and celebrate at home! Make an amazing dinner you love, and set the table with name places and fancy dinner wear.β
β
2 - Celebrate with the family! Get all done up π π, order a new outfit, do your makeup, hair and put on a corsage. Hold a mini ceremony in your backyard or living room with the fam jam!β
β
3 - Need inspiration? Put on one of these commencement speeches π to remind you that you've come so far! Some great recommendations from Forbes: https://www.forbes.com/sites/francesbridges/2018/04/29/the-10-best-ted-talks-for-graduates-about-the-meaning-of-life/ β
β
4 - Professional πΈ shots! Hire a "social distancing" photographer to set up outside the school and have scheduled time slots for grads to come by dressed up and have their graduation photo taken!β
β
5 - Make a celebration out of opening up your π diploma (if mailed to you), maybe a TikTok dance?β
β
6 - Create a graduation #οΈβ£ hashtag for your school and have everyone post their personal celebrations on SM - like a SM yearbook. β
β
7 - Video πΉ chat party with a theme! Decide on a theme for graduation with your class, then jump on zoom dressed up and play theme related games! Themes I love: 90s retro, Hawaiian Luau, and Hollywood Glam. β
β
8 - Organize a graduating class music video! Choose a song to represent your year, have people submit themselves singing or dancing to it, and use iMovie to put it all together!
β
9 - Snail π¨ mail! Send out personalized cards to your closest friends who are graduating with inspiring quotes and messages to remind them that you are proud of them!β
β
10 - Start a plan for an IN PERSON commencement celebration with your graduating class for when social distancing ends in your area π. β
β
