Your dream book is going to become your journal of goals and inspiration that will take the place of your doubts, fears, and self-imposed limits. Dreams have no limits. Your limits are created by your conscious mind, and, just like your fears, are not really real, only as real as you make them and carelessly believe them into being. How will this help an unmotivated teen develop long-term goals?

You will begin to feel as though you are living your dream NOW. instead of saying to yourself, I will be really happy when, or could be doing really well if, you will be thinking I  AM.

Dream Book small file– One page description of the process and rationale.

Dream Book Dream Menu– Possible categories of dreams, goals that can be created. Most people when asked will at most come up with 1-3 dreams, but you can have goals about relationships, work, school, health, aging, material things, etc.

How can you know you are realizing your dream, your goal, if you don’t first know what it is, it’s description, appearance, and what it feels like? Create and practice this internally and watch it happen outside of you “in reality.” This is how to help an unmotivated teen develop long-term goals.

Without believing something can be true you will find ways to ensure that it won’t be. Believing something can come true, that you can be better, will get better, this opens the doors to possibility that you were holding closed. Not the rest of the world, not luck, your job, your spouse or ex-spouse, only you can prevent yourself from becoming greater and making your dreams true. Actually, you are already making your dreams come true. Don’t like your life, don’t like what you see? Well, guess what- you are making that, not your circumstances or someone else. You have simply been making the wrong thoughts and dreams for yourself, and believing them.

Here’s the catch. You are going to have to give up those thoughts and beliefs you don’t like. That’s right. Just let them go. More than that, you are going to have to put what you want to think, believe, and feel in their place. Start your dreaming now, and make them what you want! It’s so easy to say and intellectually grasp, harder to put into practice, because your habits of thinking and feeling, some of them, they suck. That’s right, and they suck the energy right out of you, don’t they?

I also suggest after a week or two that you go back and rewrite dreams in the present tense. Rather than “I want to feel secure most of the time,” “I am feeling secure most of the time,” instead of “I want to make a million dollars,” “I am making a million dollars.”

Here is a good way to help an unmotivated teen develop long-term goals, to bring out their passion and create motivation to start doing homework again.

Even and especially people with ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorders. Ideally, family members do this together, as a great way to connect. You know how teens can get distant and elusive, right? Once they see how prominently they figure in their parents dreams, and the parent establishes themselves as the person who can help their child make their dreams come true, connections are re-formed and strengthened.
