Time to reward yourself! The Day 27 lesson is to get yourself a new CUTE workout outfit! Lets face it, it feels good to look good! I love rewarding myself with a great workout outfit, one that breathes and looks great!
Reward Yourself!
On any journey of self-improvement it is important to give yourself rewards. For some, this may have been food or treats in the past. We need to change our thought patterns.
Here are some great ways to reward yourself without sabotaging your efforts:
*a new workout outfit – it makes you feel good to look cute while working out, even if you are just home by yourself. Try something with color to shake it up! I recently just bought myself a bright orange workout shirt just to force myself into something new. The first day I wore it a woman complemented me on what a ‘happy’ color it was! Shake it up!
*a great healthy magazine – there are lots to choose from. They have great recipes, ideas, and success stories to keep you motivated!
*book a hair appointment – just to have your hair styled! – booking appointments that are just for you that make you feel fresh and vibrant is essential – and lets face it, no one can do our hair like our stylist! A pedicure, massage, spray tan or reflexology session are all wonderful treats! Pick whatever sounds right to you!
*Invite your spouse on a date! – Leave a surprise note on the counter in the morning before work asking them to be ready at a certain time and keep the location a surprise. Have the babysitter pre-booked and reservations made. Choose a place you don’t normally go and dress up a little more! A healthy dinner, a play, or just out for a glass of wine and music will make for a wonderful night!
Have fun and spice it up! There are lots of things that make you feel invigorated that don’t include junk.
Task for the Day
Reward yourself and step outside of your box! Don’t wait for someone else to treat you. Treat yourself! It is our own job to keep ourselves happy, no one else’s. Do something that will give you a little joy today!
