How to reward yourself without food:
- Announce your accomplishment to others and allow yourself to hear and soak in the congratulations.
- Buy yourself some new songs for your mp3 player. A few of my clients have created entire inspirational playlists made up of songs that each represent a specific accomplishment or milestone.
- Get a pedicure or manicure or give yourself one.
- Buy some incredible smelling lotion.
- Give yourself the gift of browsing in a store you never feel you have time to visit. One client I know gives herself a tour of her favorite nursery and dreams about her garden. Another client gifts herself with a trip to the scrapbooking store.
- Take a nap.
- Stop in the middle of the day, put your feet up and read a book or a magazine.
- See a movie.
- Take a day off—really off. Only do things you truly want to do.
- Subscribe to a magazine you want. You’ll be reminded of your reward at least once a month.
- Give yourself a free pass to say “no” to something you wouldn’t normally say no to.
- Keep a list of items you really want and purchase one when you have a win to celebrate.
- Sleep in.
- Get a massage
- Take a bubble bath
