Program Your Brain
A workbook to make trying feel good
A bad try, and now you never want to try again?
Link a good feeling to trying.
For kids, teens and adults. A parent can print it and teach it, or give it to a child to try on their own.
Like a tablet or a game, your brain runs programs. For each thing you try, it saves a feeling: a good one switches that thing ON, a bad one switches it OFF. Five steps, the method behind each one, and the sheet.
Mr. Tew, teaching: switched ON all day. Called a robot: he never shut down. Not born with NRG: he learned how. You can learn NRG, just like him.

Questions
That is okay: your brain saved a NO, and erasing it can take time. Go back to a part you enjoy. If the fear is big, talk with a grown-up you trust.
No. Share your small wins with family or friends: their smiles add to the good feeling.
Small enough to notice today: one more try, one better part, one new step.
