Big goals can feel inspiring, but they can also feel overwhelming.

Real change happens when goals are broken into small, realistic actions you can practice every day. Pausing before responding, starting with one manageable habit, or setting simple milestones can make growth feel more achievable and less intimidating.

Progress is not a straight line. Setbacks are part of the process, not a sign that you are failing. What matters most is continuing to adjust, practice, and give yourself grace along the way.

How can you apply this in your life today?

When emotions feel overwhelming, small tools can make a big difference.

Associate Clinician, Lia Chiasson, LMSW, shares what she keeps in her “stress basket,” simple sensory tools that help teens regulate stress, stay grounded, and feel more comfortable during difficult conversations.

Fidget toys, stress balls, and tactile objects can support emotional regulation by giving the nervous system something steady to focus on. For many teens, these tools make it easier to talk through tough emotions and manage stress in the moment.

Stress regulation does not have to be complicated. Sometimes, the right tool at the right time helps create space for calm, connection, and healing.

What's a small shift in mindset that can change how you approach everything?

👉 Not allowing yourself to think negatively about YOU. You’d be amazed at how much we put ourselves down, often in situations that were out of our control to begin with.

When you catch yourself being overly critical of something you did or said, stop that thought and remind yourself that you deserve grace just like anyone else.
