Sticker charts!! What has been missing from your goals!

Who doesn’t love a prize for doing what you should?   I know my children can always be bribed, and really I can too.

*Can you work extra? You’ll get more money!   Sure!
*Do you want to upgrade? You get twice as much for only $2!  Sure!!!
*Do you want our store card? You’ll save 20% today!   Hot dang a deal!  (Although I almost always say no to these)

You get my point.

So if you’re having a hard time getting yourself into a good habit try a sticker calendar or point system with rewards!!!

This can be used for food, water, exercise- basically anything.

First you set rules- minimums and guidelines for earning, and then prizes (not unhealthy ones please) and you’re off!!

I’m currently earning “points” for eating healthy and exercise.  I can earn 2 points a day- one for completing exercise and one for eating healthy.  There’s also a chance for bonus points for long distance runs (since I’m training for a half marathon).  My 14 year old daughter is holding my accountable and deciding if I’m going outside of healthy with eating.

We have prizes for cashing in points like a new running belt, a mani-pedi, a massage, a new outfit and more.   Make your list for you and make sure your points match the effort for each.

If you’re someone who needs outside motivation and accountability (which most people do!) this is a great one to try!

Blessings in health and happiness!
