On The Importance of Rewards and Balance

A mid-week retreat

Is the difference between not

Killing by Friday.

            I'm a firm believer in treating yourself in due time, and in appropriate fashion. Perhaps something big once a year, and something substantially smaller on a seasonal basis. I'd go even further and suggest you do something for yourself every month and week. For every month, you should take at least a small percentage of your paycheck and buy something nice for yourself (massage, clothes, dinner, toys, etc.). Every week you should be trying to treat yourself in a way that brings back serenity and homeliness in your life (doesn't need to cost you anything either). I have found, oddly enough, that Wednesday affords the perfect opportunity for such occasions. You would be wise to consider the same.
