Ahhhh,
yes. The best is saved for last, just like the sweetness of dessert
after a meal of many nutritious and delicious courses.
Although
the information about rewards is at the end of this book, it doesn’t
mean you should save rewarding yourself until the very end of your
journey. Quite the contrary. Rewards are an integral part of your
journey. Rewards serve many purposes - as motivators, as markers
along the pathway of your journey, and as self care, to name a few.
It’s
important that you give yourself a reward for each and every step
you complete, whether big or small, no matter what the outcome.
Rewards serve to encourage you to continue along your path. For
each step you take, each effort you make, and each accomplishment
you complete, whether you deem it to be a success or a failure (yes,
failure!) reward yourself.
Rewards
as Celebration
You
deserve a reward simply for having the initiative and the courage
to move into action. The fact that you took a step - any step, large
or small - toward your goal of living your life purpose, rather
than succumbing to the force of inertia, is deserving of a reward.
Celebrate!
Rewards
as Motivators
Using
rewards to motivate yourself to do something unpleasant, scary,
dreary, or monotonous is a great way to get yourself moving. Sometimes
just thinking about the reward waiting for you at the end of a job
will be motivation enough to get you to accomplish the work.
As
an example, you and I know that it’s important to get exercise and
stay in shape so that your body has the strength and energy to carry
you as you do the sometimes exhausting work of living your life
purpose.
For
me, staying in shape means a regular exercise program that includes
lifting weights. Never has a more boring exercise method been devised
unless you consider the monotonous torture of using a treadmill.
If death by boredom were a possibility, I’m certain that weight
lifting and using a treadmill would be two of the instruments used
to that end. In order to motivate myself to lift weights (I sold
my treadmill years ago), the reward I give myself at the end of
a workout is a soothing soak in my spa. If I really need extra encouragement
to get off my behind and work out, I add a beautiful smelling essential
oil to the water.
