Goal-Setting Tip #8

Remember to award yourself when you achieve your goals!

Take the time to enjoy the satisfaction of having achieved the goal. Absorb the implications of the goal achievement, and observe the progress you have made towards other goals. If the goal was a significant one, or one that you had worked towards for some time, take the opportunity to reward yourself appropriately. (Source: http://www.smc.qld.edu.au/goals.htm.)

When we achieve significant goals and then reward ourselves, it's motivating! So, don't forget to pat yourself on the back when your hard work pays off!

Challenge: Decide on a reward for your current goal(s) and then treat yourself when you succeed.
