How Have You Rewarded Yourself Lately?

Have you paid yourself lately?

This isn’t just the “treat yourself” idea. Treating oneself is one thing. But recognizing yourself for a job well done and meeting that effort with a reward is a much better idea.

It’s more ceremonial.

This Is Born From Self-Reflection

I admit I spent a long time grinding away in life.

I used to believe rewards only came at the finish line and not along the way. But that’s no way to live. If we don’t enjoy taking a pit stop now and then, the drive is going to suck.

And you won’t keep up with a journey that sucks!

Rewards Can Be Small

It doesn’t have to be a party for all your friends.

It can be a break, promising yourself 15 minutes of quiet to read a book or anything that feels like a reward. For me, it’s hardest to come up with an idea for a reward. How do I know what I will find rewarding after I complete another 90 days of shipping?

But I’m 30/90 so I guess I better figure something out!
