Reward yourself.
“Pep, congratulations on a great week of exercise!”
“Sonia, even better, I didn’t want candy every minute of the day this week!” Pep cried. “I should reward myself!”
“Indeed you should, Pep!”
“Like with a Hershey Kiss?”
“I was thinking more of taking time for yourself to relax. Why not take a nice warm soak in the tub? You can add good smelling soap or oils, play some relaxing music, or add some Epsom salts for your sore muscles. Your time is a valuable resource, and you deserve to dedicate some of it to find peace for yourself!”
