It dawned upon that I could get my myself to operate more on a longterm basis if I give myself a reward for holding on a bit longer than I usually do. I always knew this but I never put it into practice as much as I could have. At the end of semesters when I was at community college I would get Taco Bell because it was close by, but I would get Taco Bell or McDonalds a couple times before that so it wasn’t really that special. I put this idea into practice when I was setting goals for the month of January, if I achieved all the monthly goals I would nudge myself to go see one of my favorite rappers, throughout the month I was thinking of how dope it would be to go to the concert and be in amongst that energy that a rap show has. This gave me more strength to dig deeper and accomplish the monthly goals. Rewarding Oneself for achieving one’s goals makes me more patient anymore goal oriented because the reward for behind achieving the goals is more tangible.
