Habit #1: Be Proactive
Being proactive is the key to
unlocking the other habits. Help your teen take control and responsibility for
her life. Proactive people understand that they are responsible for their own
happiness or unhappiness. They don't blame others for their own actions or
feelings.
Habit #2: Begin With the End in Mind
If teens aren't clear about where
they want to end up in life, about their values, goals, and what they stand
for, they will wander, waste time, and be tossed to and fro by the opinions of
others. Help your teen create a personal mission statement which will act as a
road map and direct and guide his decision-making process.
Habit #3: Put First Things First
This habit helps teens prioritize
and manage their time so that they focus on and complete the most important
things in their lives. Putting first things first also means learning to
overcome fears and being strong during difficult times. It's living life
according to what matters most.
Habit #4: Think Win-Win
Teens can learn to foster the belief
that it is possible to create an atmosphere of win-win in every relationship.
This habit encourages the idea that in any given discussion or situation both
parties can arrive at a mutually beneficial solution. Your teen will learn to celebrate
the accomplishments of others instead of being threatened by them.
Habit #5: Seek First to Understand, Then to be
Understood
Because most people don't listen
very well, one of the great frustrations in life is that many don't feel
understood. This habit will ensure your teen learns the most important
communication skill there is: active listening.
Habit #6: Synergize
Synergy is achieved when two or more
people work together to create something better than either could alone.
Through this habit, teens learn it doesn't have to be "your way" or
"my way" but rather a better way, a higher way. Synergy allows teens
to value differences and better appreciate others.
Habit #7: Sharpen the Saw
Teens should never get too busy
living to take time to renew themselves. When a teen "sharpens the
saw" she is keeping her personal self sharp so that she can better deal
with life. It means regularly renewing and strengthening the four key
dimensions of life – body, brain, heart, and soul.
