Do you reward yourself when you achieve something?
I never used to...but I did today.
I've learned that we spend so much time on the actual completion of a task that we forget to reward ourselves for the effort we put in to make it happen.
Well...I've been working for the last two months on a huge 'manual' task for a new ebook of mine...and today, I finally 'cracked it'!
So - I rewarded myself with a pizza!
It may not seem like much - but it was something that I really fancied having that I probably wouldn't have done...and, if anything, getting it was a symbolic gesture to reward myself for all the effort that I had put in.
And, guess what...it was THE best pizza I had tasted in a very long time!
It's easy to just carry on to the next task when you finish the current one - like a hamster on a wheel...and then wonder why you get fed up a couple of weeks down the line when you start to feel burned out.
So - you have my permission...when you complete the next reasonable size task or challenge - make sure that you give yourself a little reward!
You deserve it!
