Reward Ideas
Clare believe's you've achieved a lot by doing some clutter clearing –
so go on, reward yourself!
You must reward yourself when you’ve done between half an hour and 2 hours of clutter clearing.
This is important because you MUST reward and acknowledge that you’ve done some clutter clearing, made a difference and achieved something. When we’ve got a lot of clutter to clear it’s hard sometimes to remember what we’ve cleared, but it’s easier to remember the reward we gave ourselves.
Rewards should be given to ourselves as soon as possible after a Clutter Clearing Session so that we begin to link the feel good factor of the successful Clutter Clearing Session with the feel good factor of the reward - we can never have enough feel good factor going on after all!
These are rewards for YOU and YOUR clutter clearing – not for anyone else!
We recommend - both small rewards for each and very Clutter Clearing Session that you do such as guilt free TV, and larger rewards for when you've maintained a clutter free surface, area or room for a week, and of course a significant reward for when you've cleared all the backlog of clutter. It doesn’t have to cost money, it doesn’t have to be big and ostentatious. It’s a treat for you that you’ve earned by doing some clutter clearing.
So….. what would be a reward for you?
Here are some reward ideas that Clare wants to share with you and that you might like to consider as either small, medium or large rewards. (note: Clare adds to this as she becomes aware of more over time - many of which are unique and personal rewards).
- anything you normally do but without the guilt
- having half an hour to yourself
- having a luxurious bath
- having a head or body massage
- meeting up with a friend for coffee or lunch
- a day out
- a glass of wine
- having a manicure
- phoning a friend
- going out for a meal instead of having to cook
- a treat like chocolate!
- someone else looking after the kids for half an hour
- maybe buying something for your home when you’ve cleared the clutter.
