Pampering Yourself on Purpose

Life is endlessly busy, and it can be easy to get caught up in the day-to-day hustle and bustle. And let’s be honest – that go, go, go lifestyle can wear on you! For that reason, it’s more important now than ever to take the time to treat yourself every once in a while. While doing so may prompt feelings of guilt—as indulging is sometimes viewed as a selfish act or an unnecessary expense—it is good for your health to do so in moderation. Allowing yourself to indulge occasionally actually enhances one’s self-worth, simply by showing yourself that you are worthy of a treat, as well as reminding us that all of our hard work, dedication, and perseverance deserves recognition from the person who can sometimes be our toughest critic – ourselves!

Let’s face it; we can all use a reward from time to time to keep us moving towards our goals. There’s no shame in that! In fact, small rewards certainly work to keep us motivated on the long journey towards specific goals, and setting smaller goals on the way to a larger one increases the likelihood of making it all the way there. When you reward yourself, it doesn’t have to be something grandiose but in fact anything that brings you joy or pleasure, like treating yourself to your favourite candy or a gourmet coffee from a local cafe. These little indulgences are sure to make a difference in keeping you on track, and will sustain your motivation as well.
