Rewards...  — 1 year ago

I have been thinking about rewards, and reading some of you guys’ entries about them, and I have to say that some of them sound really nice. Thing is, I am having already numerous cups of tea a day (majority served by my sweet man), so that one is out, and I am a pretty lazy person, so if I start making even more red-B time, I won’t be doing much else anymore.
So I have bought a few treats: two hair masks, a face mask and a permanent hair dye I want to try: L’Oreal Casting creme gloss in Blond Ambre (copper blond?!?). Because I’m worth it… I think they are all 4-day rewards than daily for a small win. So I am still on the look-out for the simple, small things I ususally deny myself. The issue is hat I am too lazy to even pamper myself, as that would involve getting off me arse and making myself a footbath. Now, I really, really miss having a bathtub.

SallyKitt 's eyes are suffering from too much screen time.

Boy, am I with you

On the one hand, I’m already doing some of the stuff I’d give myself as a reward. On the other, giving new ones to myself requires a lot of effort.

Here’s an idea, though. Maybe enhancements of things you are already doing.

Like, I’m saying that the two types of pricey loose leaf Keemun tea I bought today are a bigger reward, and actually getting to brew a pot or a cup with them will be a smaller daily reward. Not much more effort, but better than bags.

Thanks, Sallykitt

You have inspired me to request this book from the library, but the reward thing would have stopped me cold. I’ve had Ralphbandita’s problem in the past – the reward ends up being more trouble than it’s worth, a whole new project on its own. But your enhancements idea could work for me.

I'm with all of you

I can’t seem to think of daily rewards that don’t feel like daily tasks. The olive oil foot massage was nice and I can come up with larger 4DW rewards but I get stumped for daily rewards and it’s impeding my progress.

I did think it might work to let myself daydream about ridiculous scenarios that I think are indulgent, adolescent and embarrassing: someone swooping in to get rid of my debt, a rich person’s secretary sitting next to me while I go through a catalog and writing down exactly what I want, getting interviewed as a famous novelist, turning a criminal around by being so saintly and understanding that s/he repents on the spot, demonstrating a secret talent and surprising everyone who thinks they know me so well, etc. Maybe I’ll use that the daily reward for Body Whispering, which I cannot seem to do for more than 40 seconds.
