I recently managed to find a new place to live and it was not an easy task. Even though the move isn’t over yet, I felt like I deserve a small celebration.

This is a new line of thinking for me though. Very often when I had accomplished something in life, I didn’t feel like celebrating. It felt like it was to be expected and now its accomplished, so why give it another thought?

It feels nice to celebrate my own accomplishments though. I’ve rewarded myself with a tasty meal at a restaurant and enjoyed it a lot.

How are you celebrating your own accomplishments?

    Well done finding a new place to live! That’s excellent!

    I’ve always had a weight problem and used to reward myself with food. I then switched over to spending (or putting away) a small amount of money (like $5-10) on something I wanted that isn’t food. I now mostly try to budget out time for something I’ve been wanting to do that’s creative, like composing or producing music.

    Usually I write down a list of wants whenever I come around something I like. So when it’s time to celebrate I have a “menu” to choose from.
