 I was featured in The Muse this week talking about how our self-talk is so important because our brains are always listening! I wrote about this in The Ultimate Self-Esteem Toolkit which was also mentioned in the article.
Tracking my tiny wins each week in a tiny journal has really helped me overcome my own imposter syndrome. Show your brain proof on paper that every day you're doing something to help yourself move forward. After awhile, your brain stops arguing with you, and over time, you start to befriend yourself on your own journey a little more ❤️ Check out the article: https://www.themuse.com/advice/how-to-help-someone-with-imposter-syndrome #risawilliams #impostersyndrome #selfesteem #confidence #tinywins

A gentle picture book to help kids (and grownups) look around and find calming things in their environment. Look around and notice colors, sounds, smells, textures and designs that calm you down. Includes pages for parents, teachers, therapists and librarians to use with kids to create a "calm collection" of objects and sensory information at the end of the book. Great for developing SEL and mindfulness skills for little ones!

The trick? Make the first step SO RIDICULOUSLY easy it's hard NOT to do it. I mean super easy. For example: Instead of typing a page, type the title and then close the document. Or if that's too hard, just open up the blank document and then shut it.

The Nightly Round-Up is a tool I use in my own home and with my kids. It takes under five minutes to do. Each night before bed, everyone does a quick sweep of anything easy they can pick up and put away - cups, coats, papers, it should only take a minute or two to do. We might dump the cups by the sink, or throw the coat on a hanger. It's just a light pickup. However, doing a light pickup as a nightly ritual saves you from having to do really big deep cleans later! It's a tiny little habit that helps keeps things under control in the home a little more. Turns out, Brittany thought of the same tool, inspired by her days as a bartender!
