This month we've been talking about how we reward ourselves during the summer months after completing our household chores. I have thought about this & I realized that I haven't really ever tackled a job with an end reward in mind.
Do you do this?
I guess I do these jobs because of the "natural reward". For example:
I want my house to be clean & tidy when company comes over.
I want my family to have a clean bathroom to get ready in.
I like the feeling of a clean & tidy kitchen.
I feel like I can really relax when the house is "picked up".
I do the work, and then I enjoy the good consequences of having done it.
Do you do the same?
Have you ever rewarded yourself in other ways? For example:
Promise yourself time to watch your favourite show.
Plan to take yourself out for your favourite treat.
Schedule some time post-housework to surf Pinterest.
Allow yourself a splurge & buy something you've been wanting.
I'm curious to know what you do! I could use more motivation for getting the housework done on a daily basis, so I'm always open to your great ideas! :)
Great post! never thought of rewarding myself, I have always said once I clean the house will look and smell wonderful,but now I will be rewarding myself I think I deserve that!
ReplyDeleteOK - I think I will start rewarding myself too. Let's see... maybe a pedicure or quiet time with a good book?!
