Being a high school student is very stressful, because we are sometimes overloaded with work, and sometimes it can make us think that we are uncapable of doing them all in time.

When being a high school student, our teachers and parents tend to put pressure on us, for us to get good grades.
Sometimes, when we are submited to that type of pressure, we tend to panic and end up thinking we can’t do it.
When feeling that way, we should try to relax and do one thing at a time, so that we can be more organised and more prepared for every type of evaluations.
And of course, we can’t forget to start studying and doing our activities as soon as possible, because it won’t be easy to learn and understand the subjects in the previous day.

Low self-esteem is something that is not easy do deal with.
First of all, we should try to change our mindset. We really need to accept ourselves how we are and stop caring about what other people say or think about it. We need to love ourselves, with all our good and bad things.

But besides that, we can always try to change things we really think we should change, if they can actually be changed. Sometimes there are things we cannot change, and that's alright, we should just accept it and always love ourselves, even with those little aspects.

Of course this is hard, self-love and self-esteem are things that are not easy to be built, but they are so important. We should always love ourselves in first place, and that is the first step to be able to solve our problems.
And always remember, nobody's perfect. So it's completely alright not to be perfect too.

Sometimes we think for ourselfs: I want to be like that, or I want to have that, and we forget all the qualities, all the positive aspects we have. Don't try to compare yourself to others. Don't folow the trends, folow what you really like. Be yourself and always keep in mind that nobody is perfect. For example, if you are with difficult doing something, try again, and again, and again until you can do it, but never give up, never forget who you are.

There are different types of problems that could happen at home: parents arguing all the time, financial problems, brothers bullying you all the time, etc...
And no matter how hard it gets don't give up, there's always hope for the future. So if your parents/brothers fight or argue all the time and you don't know how to handle it, talk to someone.
It can be anyone really, as long as you trust them. It can be a friend, a cousin, a grandparent, etc...
Try to talk to someone and maybe things will get a little better.

Think about things clearly and always think about the good parts of your life. It will pass and you will be happier. Search for help it's okay to open up and to let people help you, there's always someone who has gone through that before. Get hobbys and activities to distract you and to help you releace the tension of your everyday life. Search for expecialized help. Doctors and psycologists can help you with medicaton, with advices and also by listening to what you have to say. Don't let yourself be told what you should or shouldn't think/do. Don't let yourself be controlled by negative thoughts. You are the only one that can change your future. It's okay to fail sometimes as long as you learn from your mistakes.

"Literally, it worked!"

Recently, one of my teen clients said about the coping skill I cover in this podcast episode. I'm always thrilled when a coping skill works for a client of mine. She struggles with anxiety, and we've talked about a ton of different coping skills, but this was the first time she ever used that phrasing. To hear more about what this coping skill is, take a listen.

As we all know, the pandemic has been incredibly draining on all of us therefore many of us have experienced major burn-out. This episode is all about recharging, refilling our cups and doing activities for ourselves so we can continue to raise our kids and be helpers to others who are also going through this. As they say on planes, you need to put on your own oxygen mask before your child's i.e we need to make sure we're looking after ourselves before we can help others. How do you recharge? For some it's reading a book, for others it's playing some really loud music to sing and dance around the kitchen to. Be sure to leave a review telling me how you recharge. In this episode I discuss 3 tips you can use to refill your cup:'No is a full sentence', which includes my new mantra - "You can do anything but not everything".Put yourself on your to-do listFind your own coping skills - and how modelling for kids can be so educational.And remember, do not forget about yourself, take a few minutes for you and have a little fun!About The Host - Janine HalloranJanine

As we become teenagers,the way that we look starts to be one of the most important concerns that we have, thanks to social Media, beauty standards and society ,we tend to compare ourselves a lot with others, mostly with famous social media stars.
Nowadays we see a lot of compaigns about body positivity, which is actually great, but it's impossible, as a human being, to love every little thing about ourselves and ,to be honest, that's fine, because what we can do is accept them, like, I might hate the pimples on my face, but I accept them, 'cause they're part of who I am. It's normal ,sometimes, to feel bummed about our lack of total physical perfection, but we can accept it, and it might be really hard, but once you're able to accept who you are, everything just becomes more easier.
I know talking, in this case writing, is really easy, so I have some tips to help you accept who you are:
•Commit to it, the fact that you acknowledge that you want to change is how you start to change;
•Ditch the narrative that looking a certain way will make you happier, it won't. Before you can learn how to love yourself , you need to relinquish the ideia of that you wouldn't feel sad, lonely or rejected if you look different;
•Stop judging, for you to be able to love yourself , you need to stop judging others for the way they look;
•Stop worrying and start enjoying, you only live once, go out and go make some memories with your friends. You can't stop going out only 'cause you're scared that people will judge you for your looks. Live your Teenage years, because they won't last forever.
