Crappy treat yo self Categories
-Screw my budget I will impulse spend $500 at target
-Screw my workout I am just going to go home instead
-I'm going to buy starbucks or lunch out bc i was late and didn't prepare ahead of time

When we act out of a place of instant gratification (like children), we think we are adding to our happiness, but in reality, these aren't actually helping our bigger picture goals. 


New Treat Yo Self
-investing a higher percentage in your retirement
-planning out a shopping spree & then taking one
-taking a planned rest day from working out
-planning out what you'll spend at starbucks & then buying it

I want to reiterate that wanting something and buying it isn't a bad thing, but often times this "treat yo self" movement isn't actually treating you long term, it's just a glorified way to say self-sabotaging. 

Make a list of the things you do when you treat yo self & see which ones are actually you self-sabotaging. 

Create a new PLANNED OUT, self-advancing, exciting and guilt-free way of treating yourself instead. 

It's not treating yourself if afterwards you feel sluggish, guilty or mad at yourself. 

Treating ourselves should be a part of our planned out spending and our planned out activities. 

So, friend, treat yourself in a way that actually treats yourself.
