Way to go ! Sounds like you are off to a fantastic start.
I have sometimes rewarded myself when I was successful at something. After I started working with the company I am working for now (almost 25 years ago) after my first promotion about a year and a half in, I walked down to the jewelry store on my lunch break and bought myself a ring ! Although I love fun jewelry, it is something that I have never spent that much on, because it was never a priority, but I thought it was worth remembering, so I did it. It didn't become a habit though. 😄
Thanks Jace, yeah it's been good really, and I've a few more in the pipeline. So, could be a healthy year for me I guess.
I like the small reward thing, clearly. As long as it's for the right reasons and the reward matches the achievement. I do it with some many things: A cup of coffee and a cookie as reward for hitting my calls for the morning, or a baguette and a coffee at the beach on a Friday afternoon for hitting my weekly targets. You know, small things just to make the moment. Like you and that ring.
