It was a long old week last week and ended feeling very jaded and tired! Yep, even therapists get this way sometimes! So I needed a treat, something to look forward to at the weekend. I’m a great believer in treats and rewards for hard work. What is the point otherwise? So many people treat themselves in unhealthy ways or do not do so at all and then feel very dipondant with life. How so do you reward yourself? With a bottle of wine or a pack of doughnuts? Rewarding yourself with a biscuit with a cup of tea will ensure you put on 5 extra pounds in weight you don’t need over the year.
My top 5 rewards recently have been;
1. A beautiful bunch of lilies
2. A new paperback
3. A sports massage
4. A morning on the beach with a paper when there were loads of chores to do
5. A 15 minute water ski
None too expensive and even the water ski only cost about the same as a couple of bottles of decent wine and gave me way more of a thrill and a long lasting buzz. Yes, my legs ache but in a good way.
Think of 5 ways to ‘treat’ yourself now that will help you ‘feel’ better instead of reaching for food or booze. I guarentee you will gain so much more pleasure from these and help you lose the weight too.
