I'm Dr.
Becky, and this is Good Inside.
Developing good habits can be hard,
whether it's the habit of prioritizing self-care as a parent or getting your kids to brush their teeth or do their homework.
But small changes can make a big difference.
This week, I'm talking to James Clear,
the author of Atomic Habits, about little steps we can all take.
to change our habits and get 1% better every day.
Back in a minute.
I often hear that parents have a really hard time really getting into self-care habits that they know.
People are saying like, I know.
that I can't fill myself up by pouring myself out.
I know I'm not a good parent when I don't take time for myself and when I tell my kid,
okay, I guess I won't go on my walk because you're crying.
Like, I actually know that's not good for anyone, but still that's so hard.
So a self-care habit.
And then I also know everyone listening is thinking, you know, those day-to-day transition habits,
whether it's getting out the door, putting your stuff away,
kids when they come in or starting homework.
Like, I would love to kind of address both of those.
