How do I reward myself?

My mental health really deteriorated at the end of 2022 and then through 2023, I’ve learned a few things though. I’m making my health a priority for 2024 and achieved all my wellness goals today and have them set for the rest of the week.
Is there something small I should be doing at the end of each week to reward myself?

Buy a small bunch of flowers from the supermarket each week.

Well done, that’s really impressive. Do you feel you need to do anything as a reward, or is achieving the goals enough in itself? I only ask because I would probably reward myself with food - chocolate or a take away, but it can be the start of a slippery slope.

Small things to reward yourself e.g. a manicure, pedicure, get your eyebrows done, buy yourself a face mask, bar of choccie. A cinema outing, coffee and a cake, a book, flowers, a new lippy.

Make a list, write them on a small bit of paper and put in a jar, or make yourself a check book with treat vouchers to cash in the treats.

You deserve it.

Eating cheese in the bath is super swanky op!!

I'd add bath bombs to @2024IWillBeNurturingMe 's list.

Depends on what you like and your budget.

I have decided if I stick to my new routine (drinking water, eating well and sticking to skin care twice a day) I can buy myself a new fragrance discovery set at the end of each month.

I love perfume and tend to collect it. A new bottle a month seems a bit frivolous. So a new discovery set is pros. As I get to try loads of fragrances.
