Remember to Reward Yourself

I was reminded the other day of an old commercial for Hershey’s Kisses, where a famous actor ties one of his shoes and very satisfied with that accomplishment, says,” I deserve a Hershey’s kiss.” And he ties his other shoe and he rewards himself with another Hershey’s kiss.

It’s a reminder of something simple that we can do to acknowledge when we have done something well, even if it’s not through chocolate.

Sometimes I think we wait for other people to acknowledge what we have done well and recognize that, and it certainly feels good when it comes from the outside, but it can be super powerful when it comes from the inside, too.

Even if there’s no chocolate involved, acknowledging, and giving yourself feedback when you have done something well, can be extremely important.
