REWARD YOURSELF!

When the weather is blah it can affect our mood. When our mood is down we can be prone only to see the negative. Today your challenge is to think REWARD! Set goals for the day, the week, and/or the month and then reward yourself for your hard work. Below are some examples of rewards. I especially like the money in the jar idea! Some ideas are kind of kooky but who knows, maybe they will work for you! I found this list on the website sparkpeople.com. Great site. You might want to check it out!

REWARD ROSTER CHOOSE YOUR FAVORITES AND USE THEM LIBERALLY

Compliment yourself. Write down what you would say to anyone else who accomplished what you did.
Create an actual plaque or trophy.
Give yourself badges of honor for different levels of accomplishment.
Take a vacation or weekend getaway.
Take a day off from any goal activities.
Put $1 in a jar every time you meet a goal. When it gets to $50, treat yourself.
Create a Trophy Scrapbook, where you keep mementos from your accomplishments.
See a movie.
Make a grab bag of little prizes. When you reach a significant goal, reach in and get your reward!
Go for a spa treatment or massage.
Buy yourself a gift certificate.
Take a limo ride.
Subscribe to a magazine you always wanted.
Go canoeing or do something outdoorsy.
Watch your favorite TV show.
Buy something for your hobby.
Read a funny book.
Celebrate "100% Days". If you reach 100% of your goals that day, choose two rewards.
Find some time to be by yourself.
Pay someone to do the yardwork or house cleaning this week.
Fly a kite.
