    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.

    LOL....

    my favorite reward to myself....has to be a half hour alone, to read, or soak in the tub, WITHOUT anyone asking me to find something they've misplaced, or without any interruption whatsoever. ( I can count on one finger how often this happens, LOL) And I will occasionally sneak a cafe latte or mocha....while I'm window shopping.

    Only kidding!!!

    Since my kids are all adults now and no one is living at home, every day is a treat! LOL

    Take some time to read or just lounge on the deck w/a margarita will do it for me...

    A good road trip to Texas is my kind of reward.

    For something pretty good: A four pack of Wexford beer.

    For something VERY good: A new DVD set, probably Simpsons.

    For something astoundingly good: [When something that good happens, I'll make something up]
