Day 8: Reward Yourself!


So how did everyone do this week with your new healthy habits? If you are thinking to yourself that you did a great job, then it is time to reward yourself for your efforts!

As a teacher and mother to young children nothing is more effective to motivating them then a reward system. It is a proven fact that positive reinforcement makes a person want to repeat the good behavior and if you give that person enough positive reinforcement they won't feel the need to rebel, misbehave or give up.

So why wouldn't this concept apply to us as well as we are introducing new healthy habits into our lives? Give yourself some positive talk and rewards today! I am heading to my jet tub as soon as I finish typing this! Ahhh! Time to reward myself for my efforts with a nice, relaxing soak!

Side Note: If you feel like you didn't do as well as you wanted this week start small. Maybe you need to create a daily reward plan. Keep up the good work!
