£1,000 to make life a little easier and more pleasurable

After a lot of hard work and study, I have started a new job that is high pressure and very responsible. It will involve long hours, travel and a lot of talking which as a natural introvert will be tiring (although really rewarding).

I’ve very kindly been given £1,000 and told to spend it on something/ things to make my life a little easier and more pleasurable. I am not to save it, spend it on day to day essentials etc. But I’m a bit stuck for ideas. What would you buy?

Does such a thing exist?!?!

Oh yes!
I should go and edit my "if I won the lottery" answer.
