Sometimes as an incentive to do something that requires hard work and will in the long term be beneficial to attend to I'll offer myself a reward. Yes maybe the accomplishment in itself should be the reward - but I need MOTIVATION!
So do you give yourself a carrot for getting that long put off chore, for going to see someone who needs or wants to see you, for finishing a goal, for losing weight? Or am I alone?
I like to reward myself for a good work out with a tasty treat - just not a big one and usually it includes lots of veggies or fruit. I also have a novel way of rewarding and incentivising myself to study, but I dont think I can mention that one here. But regardless happy to hear what anyone else does or whether you think you shouldnt make personal rewards a habit.
