how do you reward yourself?
« on: February 15, 2010, 09:24:44 am »
today I had to take my 2 yr old to the dr.  as his "reward" if he was good i asked if he wanted chicken nuggets or pizza and he exclaimed "CHEESE PIZZA"  (this is a treat in our house!)

After his wonderful behavior at the dr. office he and I went and shared a slice of cheese pizza and then got some chocolate ice cream -- he has been an angel all morning!  :)

How do you reward yourself?

how cute!

i find that disciplining myself isn't that easy,
so calling anything a reward doesn't seem
exactly right... which is my own fault, of course.

for some reason, on the rare occasion that i buy
a magazine, it feels like a reward. probably
because i force myself not to so much.
$5 is a lot for one these days, especially when i
know there are thousands of old free ones lying
around somewhere. i just haven't found where
yet  :P
[ we all have a place in history. mine is in the clouds. ]

Check to see if your neighborhood has a "freecycle" group -- mine has one on yahoo and often you can get these types of things from them.

Rewards= does this mean spending more time with my daughter and less time behind a computer screen?

It depends on my mood, but a book, a movie, manicure, or something along those lines.

I turn off the phone, get away from the computer, and go do something like see a movie or drive to the beach.

I reward myself by going to a movie, and buying myself something nice.

After I feel like I've accomplished something, or put a good full days work in I like to reward myself with a snack. Usually I go get gas n stop off at the dollar store to buy a bag of candy. Or my favorite Jack Links jerky =D If I ever had a bit of money on hand and I come across a good deal like on a shirt or something I usually pick it up. Havnt had any rewards in awhile :/

That is funny.  The HOME of Jack Links Jerky is only 8 miles from the house where i grew up (the little ole town in northern wisconsin) -- they sure have distributed it well.

After a hard day I reward myself by taking a long bubble bath and reading a good book. Hopefully my teenager doesn't need me for anything and I can just relax all evening.
