Trick #8 - Reward Yourself

When you have succeeded with some of the activities in this blog, it's important to reward yourself. However, there is one huge caveat:

Do not reward yourself with stuff!

No shopping. No ebay. No catalog browsing. No flea market, jewelry party, auction, shopping network, gift buying. No craigslist. At first, it might be difficult to think of a reward that doesn't have anything to do with stuff, or a reward that is for you and not for someone else. You can invite another person to share in your reward, but be wary of inviting a saboteur along. A saboteur is not going to be happy for you.

Some reward ideas:
  • Get a pedicure, or a massage
  • Enjoy an exotic coffee or a nice meal out
  • Take a trip
  • Go skiing, sailing, dancing
  • Get a new hairstyle or color
  • Go to the opera, the hockey game, the circus, somewhere that is a treat for you
