What do you do to reward yourself?

I try to reward myself when I know I did a hard work to get a job done. Like when I did some general cleaning over the house, I buy a pint of my favorite ice cream. It comforts me, and I somehow drive myself to do more of hard work so I can have ice cream again. :)

I usually don't do rewards for myself but I sure do for my grandson. We have had some behavioral issues with him. So when he is good we reward him with a Lego toy or some toy he wants. He likes his super heros and the cars that transform. For myself I pamper myself and buy some conditioner or something for myself. And we go out for icecream and enjoy a family movie night.

Yes, toys are good motivators. My grandson has some mood disorders so we have to have some strict things in place.

Time on the internet, a movie or a hot bath is how I reward myself. Little moments to myself.

hi lizzie, I love ice cream too hehe,, my husband and I sometimes treat ourselves by having half gallon pf ice cream and share it with each other, it really relieves our stress and hard work, we do it once a month and it really worthy. I know some people reward themselves by buying unnecessary thing, gadgets and others out of unreasonable price. For me its just a waste of money but still I respect their sides.

Like you I also reward myself when I do something really great. I just remember when I was still reviewing for the board examinations, I will bribe myself for example if I'll be able to study, and have a high score after a post examination I will go and watch movie. Rewarding oneself is helpful, it is a good motivator, in my experience I am able to accomplish more, and keep me wanting to doing more.

You're right. It really is a good motivator. It helps a lot specially when you're feeling lazy. :)

I reward myself by buying a new gadget or by watching several movies one by one.I avoid rewarding myself by eating food, because that way i have to work out much more to burn those extra calories.Although full respect for those who reward themselves that way,everyone has their own method.Best wishes.

I try to work hard for 3 or 4 months. After that, I reward myself with a vacation in some place that is new or haven't been to before. Depending on the budget, that vacation may last 3-6 day.

Hooray for long vacations! :) I guess rewarding ourselves with some pampering and well-deserved luxury do great motivators. As we look forward to our next self-reward, we work even harder. :)

Awesome! I love McDonald's hot fudge sundae. One of the best ways to reward myself, specially now that it's super hot.

I always give myself a good rest after doing a hard work. Sometimes I pig out and eat anything on the fridge or buy myself some food. But my favorite is to go out with my friends and drink.

Mr Industrious. I believe you always reward yourself because your name itself suggests a hard worker. Cheers! :)

I am making sure that I treat myself at least once a month by eating in an expensive restaurant with my favorite food or I would buy something that would help me release my stress from work. Or as simple as I buy fries from McDonald when I go home. It helps me to be motivated to go to work everyday.

Wow! McDonald's all the way! :) I love McDonald's fries, too. Perfect with their hot fudge sundae. :)

If I have been good that week and kept up with my workouts and healthy eating then I will treat myself with some kind of sweets or food that I really like. It takes a lot of self-control.

I too employ the reward yourself with ice cream method and whenever they have deals on ice cream at the store I always end up taking them up on it. The last time I bought ice cream they had a four for ten deal and I bought for tubs of ice cream! We had ice cream for quite a while then. My girlfriend and I also like to reward ourselves from all the work that we do with going out to eat or ordering a pizza or something like that. I work two jobs and she has three jobs and we both cram in as much hours as possible at work. I also like to reward myself by buying tattoos. I've been getting a new tattoo almost every other week when I get my paychecks and it really helps motivate me to try to work as much as possible.

for me to reward my self after the hardship either in work or even at home is to eat my favorite food,for me that is the best way to reward myself,because even before i always do this,buying of my favorite food because it makes me comfortable and tired released.

It feels great to reward ourselves sometimes! There is no one else who can appreciate us even more with all the things that we do but ourselves! Funny isn't it? But it is true! Whenever I feel like I did something good, I do not expect somebody to give me a reward, I buy something for myself as a treat or go somewhere like shopping or just dine in a diner I love.

Yes, I usually reward myself too. I go out for a nice meal at the weekends. I some time treat myself with some sweet and drink that I like. I think it is good idea to treat yourself nicely when you have done some thing because people like to treat others well but forgot to reward themselves.
