Self-Care Has Its Rewards

JUST FOR TODAY:  Create a reward system for following your routine of Self-Care.  You deserve!

Implementing the elements of your routine of Self-Care is rewarding in and of itself, because of the immediate benefits that you feel.  You can enhance the benefits by adding additional rewards for completing certain components of your routine, especially those components which are more challenging for you to achieve.  You can also add a reward for following your routine for a specific period of time, for example, one straight week.  Your reward can be monetary, such as a dollar for the completion of an aspect of your routine.  Your reward can be a special gift, such as a weekend getaway for following your routine for three weeks in a row.  Give to your Self for giving to your Self!
