I got the idea from a friend to create an influencer bowl. I jot down positive things I do for self, home, networking and towards gaining job or reopening my business. It's folded paper with self messages. I stopped bullying myself. The bowl is on the counter, I reach in grab a note, do what it says. I also stop the "shadows of negativity"- things in the past, those things when you are sitting letting your mind ramble. I shut that down with positives I'm doing now and for my future. I don't heap activities upon me anymore. I have set the "beauties"- rewards I want for me and it goes across EVERYTHING in my life.

This is a great idea. I also use a Hype file, within my email, on a computer file, and some hand written. The hype file is a collection of notes, thank yous, etc. from other peers at work, direct reports, family, or from you. These are both great reminders to be kind to yourself and get a much needed boost when things may not be going as well as you would like. Thank you for sharing. :)

This is one of the greatest visual cues you can use for anything! We encourage our clients to do and it's a tremendous benefit. Add colorful post-it notes to make it even more exciting!
If you do this when you're trying to achieve something it can be used as a visual cue to remind you of what you've accomplished so far.
LOVE

You can also add more fun things like - should i do this or that and make a pet choose for you and do what it tells you to do rather than you asking it to do the way you want it. You can build a sequence of actions and play with your pet at the same time.
