Ever been in a high-pressure situation and nail it? When that happens, you need to be loud, proud, and celebrate. This is why you need to have a reward system.

If you don’t have a reward system or don’t think you should have one, think again. Here’s why – most people reward themselves with food or beverages, adult beverages, or something even worse. Think about it… When you have something BIG happen in your life, do you celebrate with dinner and drinks? For most, this is their go-to. But what about shopping or a spa day? How about that book that’s been on your wish list? This is why you need to have a plan in place for your reward system.

Here’s the thing, I used to be that person that rewarded myself with food and beverages. I still do from time to time, but I’ve learned that there’s a way to be a bit more mindful about celebrating. If you don’t have one in place yet, it’s ok. I want to help you create one. This type of system can work for you and your children! Over time, it will teach you to celebrate every win, no matter the size.

To help you get started, I’m going to give you some examples of the ways I’ve rewarded myself in the past. You’ll notice that the size of the rewards vary. That’s ok because the way I see it, the rewards are meant to align with the accomplishment itself.
