rewards

You should plan a reward for each smART goal you are successful in completing. A reward is an incentive to work on your goal and can make it more likely that you will achieve it. Your reward cannot be food or drink.

Here are a few ideas:

• Bubble bath • Bunch of flowers or a plant • New music for your MP3 player • New outfit • New pair of slimmer jeans • New book or magazine • Coin jar - add £1 for every pound lost or create your own reward system. The growing collection of money will be a visual reminder of what you’ve accomplished and get you motivated to add to it • Trip to the cinema/art gallery etc. • New exercise gear • Pedicure • A new DVD • A star on your calendar or diary • Manicure
