Wise Mind: three-column check

About 6 min

The goal

Find the balanced answer between feeling and logic.

Do it step by step

  1. 1

    Pick a decision you're facing.

  2. 2

    Column 1 — Emotion mind: what do your feelings want?

  3. 3

    Column 2 — Reasonable mind: what do the facts say?

  4. 4

    Column 3 — Wise Mind: take a slow breath and ask "What honours both?"

For parents

Resist filling in column 3 for your teen. Their own Wise Mind answer matters more than the 'right' one.
