How to Build YourInvisible Force Field
You are the Boss of Your Brain.
Imagine this: You are playing a video game. You have a shield that blocks all damage. An enemy shoots a fireball at you, but it just bounces off. Ping! You don't lose any health. You just keep playing.
Did you know you can do this in real life?
It's called your
You might think you can't stop a bully from being mean.
And you're right. You can't control them. But you have 4 Superpowers that they can never touch:
Your Thoughts
You decide what movies play in your head.
Your Feelings
You decide if you want to be sad, mad, or just bored by them.
Your Words
You decide what you say back (or if you say nothing!).
Your Actions
You decide to walk away or stand tall.
The "Who is the Boss?" Test
Next time someone says something mean to you, ask yourself:
"Who is the Boss of my brain right now?"
You Give Them Control
If you get angry and cry...
You just gave them the remote control to your brain.
You let them be the Boss.
You Stay in Control
If you look at them, shrug, and say "Whatever, dude..."
You kept the remote control.
You are still the Boss.
Try the "Trash Can Technique"
When someone says a mean word, imagine that word is a piece of crumpled-up paper.
Don't Eat It
Don't believe it. Just because someone said it doesn't make it true.
Don't Put It in Your Pocket
Don't think about it later or carry it around with you.
Just Step Over It
It's just trash. It doesn't belong to you. Leave it on the ground.
Nobody can make you feel small
unless you agree to shrink.
