Goals should have rewards. Yes just achieving a goal is a reward itself that is true. However, we need motivation to keep us going and we deserve rewards for the little milestones. Think about it. We have Preschool graduation, kindergarten graduation, Junior High graduation, High School graduation then finally college graduation. How long and drawn out would school be without those milestones?
When setting a big goal, it is just as important to break it down into milestones & reward yourself for each one. A reward can be small or big but needs to be there. So say your goal is to lose 30 pounds, then reward yourself every 5, 10 or 15 or any combination of. If your goal is to loose weight I suggest you not reward yourself with food or clothes. Jewelry maybe, but not clothes. They reason being: 1. you are trying to leave your bad eating habits behind & one day of bad eating can completely send you in a tail spin. 2. If you have a significant amount of weight to lose if you go out & buy some nice clothes you will only have to buy new ones later.
Need some ideas? Here is my list:
1. Jewelry
2. Mani/pedi
3. Facial
4. Massage
5. Shoes
6. Makeup
7. New movie (I love movies!)
8. A new book
9. A day off from everything
10. New music (especially workout music)
