Please share these resources with your whanau
1. "I Can Speak Clearly Now the pain has gone" This is a personal growth approach to confident public speaking. If you know you are a communicator and want to improve your skills, this will help you bring forward your authentic self. If you are shy, this will also help. (PDF) Download your free digital copy here.
2.'Activate Your Human Superpowers'. This is the superpowers model fleshed out (you have the summary in your journal at the back). Who knows if it will resonate with you but no harm in having a look. Download your free digital copy here
3. A guided sensory check-in. This can serve as an introduction to meditation (audio mp3). It is a closed eyes guided 'sit' like we did in the workshop.
4. STRESS - Healthy strategies - from your own discussions (pdf).
5. Remember GRATITUDE is an ATTITUDE - the more we acknowledge what we really are grateful for (and there is PLENTY) the more we can receive. Generosity of spirit makes the world go around. Before you go to sleep identify x3 things you are or could be grateful for...
6. MONEY - Blair's money hacks - click here to download (PDF)
7. There are several short info videos below that will remind you of some of our content. The Success Spiral, Emotional Bank Accounts, the Superpowers growth framework and a couple of others I thought you might find useful.
8. Remember to notice where you 'pay' your attention. This will raise Awareness (one of your Superpowers).
9. Practise GRATITUDE as an ATTITUDE (the more grateful you are, the more you will have to be grateful for!)
10. Instead of saying "I can't do that because I don't know how", say "I can't do that yet so I better learn how!"
10. Below is a list of short videos Enya has assembled for you. We highly recommend you watch with your parents and caregivers. Share with your siblings, talk about what YOU think and feel. Keep aiming to understand yourself better and better and you will make the most of this gift of a human lifetime!

Notice what you notice - noticing activates Awareness - a human SUPERPOWER
Open your workshop journal (with closed eyes) and let the message you see be a flavour for your day. Keep focused on what works for you. Learn yourself like a topic worth studying.
Make time for being still - listen to your deepest truth (it is different from superficial day-to-day feelings). Intuition is a human SUPERPOWER
JOURNAL - writing down your thoughts and feelings and dreams and insights and ideas helps organise your mind and process your experiences... Imagination is a human SUPERPOWER - dream...
Make meaning of experiences in ways that lift you up rather than pull you down. Step back and keep things in perspective. Reason is a human SUPERPOWER
Use your Will power to move in the direction of your dreams. You can do and be and have anything if you choose to take action. Will is a human SUPERPOWER
Sometimes our self-talk brings us down. Treat yourself as you would a really good friend. There will always be obstacles and challenges to face in life, but you WILL thrive if you stay on your own team.
Choose to be around people who bring out the best in you.
Always remember "You are smarter than you think and you are stronger than you know"
