Identity, Confidence, Emotional Regulation & Daily Movement for the Next Generation
Created by: Nick Dougherty
Founder of VIBE 35
INTRODUCTION
Kids and teens today are facing the highest levels of:
- anxiety
- distraction
- low confidence
- social pressure
- identity confusion
- low energy
- depression
- overwhelm
- sedentary behavior
- poor mental health
- emotional instability
In modern history.
Schools, parents, and youth programs are overwhelmed and outmatched.
They don’t need another program.
They need a simple, daily identity system that:
- builds confidence
- strengthens emotional resilience
- regulates the nervous system
- increases focus
- reduces anxiety
- improves behavior
- supports academics
- builds leadership
- strengthens discipline
- improves physical health
This is exactly what VIBE 35 was built for.
THE THREE PILLARS OF THE YOUTH CURRICULUM
Kids and Teens follow the same core philosophy as adults — simplified and age-adapted.
1. You vs You
Learning to compete with:
- their past self
- their comfort zone
- their excuses
- their fears
Not with other kids.
2. Raise Your Frequency
Teaching kids:
- what “low frequency” feels like (tired, overwhelmed, reactive)
- what “high frequency” feels like (focused, confident, calm)
- how to change their state
This becomes their emotional vocabulary.
3. War on Weakness
For kids, “weakness” is framed as:
- quitting
- negative self-talk
- giving up
- avoidance
- disrespect
- bad attitude
Not physical weakness — emotional weakness.
THE 4 SYSTEMS INSIDE THE CURRICULUM
The youth curriculum has 4 components:
1. VIBE DROPS FOR SCHOOLS (The Classroom Reset System)
Kids perform 35–60 second micro-movements to:
- reset energy
- reduce anxiety
- increase focus
- regulate the nervous system
- improve classroom behavior
These Drops are scientifically validated through:
- oxygen increase
- dopamine release
- cortisol reduction
- sensory grounding
- pattern interruption
Teachers can run Drops:
- at the start of class
- after lunch
- before tests
- during transitions
- anytime behavior dips
This system alone can transform school culture.
2. THE VIBE 35 KIDS SESSION (10-Minute Version)
A daily 10-minute session that includes:
- movement
- breath reset
- positive identity statement
- 1 small win
Example breakdown:
- Minute 1: Breathing reset

This builds discipline, confidence, and consistency.
