- How do you feel about yourself when you attain a goal? I feel Great
- How do you reward yourself when you achieve something? Well now Soul, that is something I don't do. I really never considered doing that. Something for me to work on changing😊
@scarletPear1945
Scarlet, have you ever thought about making a "Reward List"? Like "Having me time in my special place", "Self massage", "A nice treat like XXX"?
@amiablePeace77
No I have never done that before. I am going to try to do that. Thanks
@soulsings
What do you do Soul to reward yourself?
@scarletPear1945 blueberry pancakes! Or maybe sleep in an hour later.
What ideas do you have for rewards?
@soulsings
A slice of Strawberry Cream Pie feels right🤣 with a hot cup of coffee.
Or a cold slice of Watermelon
@scarletPear1945 nice treat
@soulsings, I hope you don't mind me chiming in here even though I was not tagged. But I had to contribute!
* How do you feel about yourself when you attain a goal?
I feel more confident about myself to the point I almost think I am a more attractive fellow, haha. In all seriousness, the boost of confidence is really nice when a goal that I've been working toward for a while has finally come to completion and was a success. I get great joy out of this and my life just feels like it is in a good place regardless as to any other stressors that may be on my mind.
* How do you reward yourself when you achieve something?
Well this depends, but if it is a goal of say, getting a promotion or other career advancement, then I'd say a nice dinner is in order. If it's a small goal, such as getting the whole house finally spotless and in order, then I'd say finding a date/time to treat myself to some rest and relaxation is in order. Even if that rest and relaxation is only spending a bit more time on a special home cooked meal or maybe a movie night.
Thanks for asking this question! :)
@TwoCreamTwoSugar
Hi TwoCreamTwoSugar, nice to see you here! I was just reading your post and must say I so agree with you! Happiness reduces stress levels!
@TwoCreamTwoSugar glad you chimed in. This thread and the whole Therapy Subcom is open to the whole community.
Sounds like you have a nice way of acknowledging your success.
The positive feeling of accomplishment is enough for me.
@helpfulTurtle6349
Nice helpfulTurtle6349! I believe the feeling of accomplishment is a big reward already!
@helpfulTurtle6349 that is a great way to put it. Sometimes I celebrate by coming onto 7cups and listening to others. That is a gift as well.
@soulsings
- How do you feel about yourself when you attain a goal? It feels good, it's like an inner voice is saying "See, I told you, you can do it!"
- How do you reward yourself when you achieve something? My best reward is usually taking me and alone time, something like a spar day at home is always appreciated.
@amiablePeace77 you deserve all the credit you give yourself and the self care too.
@amiablePeace77
you seem so content with just the simple things of life that give you joy. That is Great
I tend to look for things in a different light. I think I should rethink them again.😲
@soulsings When I attain a goal, I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I always have this mental "to-do" list in my head, so it always feels so much "lighter" if that makes sense. I always like to reward myself by taking breaks and not feeling bad 😂 or I will get a Starbucks! What about you Soul? What do you do to reward yourself?
@fruityPond7887 glad you feel a sense of relief. I do too.
One thing I enjoy when I am tired is a nap. So sometimes that is the best things to recharge my battery.
@soulsings I agree with you! Naps are my favorite! 😝💖
@fruityPond7887 especially those long ones at night lol.
@soulsings It's awful when you wake up though and can't fall back asleep and then you're up until 4 am 😂😝
@fruityPond7887 I try not to start a creative project in the middle of the night. That makes me fire on all cylinders.! lol
@fruityPond7887
I should be taking lessons from you, this a great way to do things
Thanks for sharing ❤️
Achieving a goal of mine is always invigorating. I like to reward myself with some of my favorite snacks or a well deserved lay in with a movie and cat to cuddle
@SharkieDearest oh wow nice to share the achievement with the cat. I am sure they appreciate the attention.
I sometimes have to bribe them with treats but they love a cuddle. 😂
@SharkieDearest the cats I had were not cuddle cats. They were independent and not afraid to use their claws
@soulsings
Mine to @Soul. Scratch or bite or try to climb my leg with their claws😊
@scarletPear1945 cat claws are also dangerous to woodwork and wall paper!
