Rewards
This year, 18 Mind Body Motion clients have gone public with their goals and challenges for 2010. I bet there are many more of you who have your own list of goals - even if you haven't shared them with everyone.
So what are you going to do for yourself when you achieve these goals? Traditionally, we seem to celebrate with food and drink – but we don't want to start undoing all our hard work the minute we achieve what we want. Here's some ideas to help celebrate your achievements...
• Indulge in a facial or a massage
• Get a new haircut
• Take some time out with a long hot bath
• Buy a new outfit or a new pair of shoes
• Plan a weekend away
• Spend an afternoon reading a book, with no interruptions
• Buy a new perfume or cologne
• Go to the movies or hire a DVD
• Take a whole day to do whatever you feel like, no plans, no deadlines
You can even plan for these rewards. If your goal is to lose weight, put a small amount of money ($5 or $10) in a money box for every week you have a loss on the scales, or every kilogram that you lose. By the end you'll have enough money for a new outfit when you get to your goal. If you have a supportive partner, get them to offer a challenge. Maybe they will match your contribution dollar for dollar?
It's important that you celebrate your achievements, and even all the little wins on the way. You deserve to reward yourself for your willingness to do something different and be different.
