So I had a conversation with a friend a few nights ago, that got that me thinking about life and rewarding yourself. Lets just say the last two weeks has honestly been the first time in a long time that I have actually not 'worked'. I cannot remember the last time I took a vacation or time off to myself, other than weekends. In other words, I went from school to work and vice versa for the past couple of years. I don't want to say that I am addicted to working, but I will admit that I kind of am. Working keeps me busy, motivated and keeps my mind focused. For the most part, I am simply consumed with my work that I don't even realize how much time I've actually spent working. And I generally like what I'm doing!
My concept is that, working hard and striving for what you want will eventually pay off. One of the few things I appreciate my dad teaching and instilling into me.
While I may be young, I still have the rest of my life. Then again, some may say live for the moment, as you don't know what will happen tomorrow. I guess they have a point but I’ve just always been taught to work hard and play later.
However, I have been seriously buckling down and applying to jobs within my field of interests as well as catching up on some much attended online work this past week. So I’m not sure if this even counts as taking time to myself as a I am constantly crossing off things on my to do lists.
My idea of rewarding myself is once I complete a few tasks and depending on my mood, I will either indulge is some retail therapy, do takeout or have some frozen yogurt from either Menchies or Mio Yogi (yes, even in winter)!
How do you reward yourself?
