I recently managed to find a new place to live and it was not an easy task. Even though the move isn’t over yet, I felt like I deserve a small celebration.
This is a new line of thinking for me though. Very often when I had accomplished something in life, I didn’t feel like celebrating. It felt like it was to be expected and now its accomplished, so why give it another thought?
It feels nice to celebrate my own accomplishments though. I’ve rewarded myself with a tasty meal at a restaurant and enjoyed it a lot.
How are you celebrating your own accomplishments?
Usually I write down a list of wants whenever I come around something I like. So when it’s time to celebrate I have a “menu” to choose from.
That’s a great idea! It’s like a wishlist.
Well done finding a new place to live! That’s excellent!
I’ve always had a weight problem and used to reward myself with food. I then switched over to spending (or putting away) a small amount of money (like $5-10) on something I wanted that isn’t food. I now mostly try to budget out time for something I’ve been wanting to do that’s creative, like composing or producing music.
Thank you! These are great ways to reward yourself! And yes, time gets more and more precious.
Going out for a nice dinner, or schedule going to an event that you’re interested in? (Eg. A musical, craft show, exhibition, art gallery)
Congrats on finding a new place to live! I acknowledge the little and big wins by giving myself a small treat - whether it’s yummy food or a buying something I’ve been eyeing - but it’s usually food. :)
Thank you! Yes, for me it’s also often food cause I love to eat but not to cook :P
