Beginning Who You Are

Imagining the teenager you could have been requires letting go of the limits you grew up with.

Imagine you living with an ideal family that would have supported whatever you desired from life (good stuff).

Imagine how you would have spent your teenage afternoons.

Imagine how you would have spent your teenage evenings.

Imagine yourself preparing for the next stage in your life, as if you knew what it would be (in your dreams).

Smile and feel good about your teenage life with nice parents, nice house, nice city...

Add to your lists any words and phrases and activities that will help in defining the new you.

These imaginary activities and who you are in this new family are as real as your dreams.

Dreams aren't real?
