If you reward yourself along the way, you may be more apt to start … and finish.

Just in from my jog. Took a mandarin orange with me and rewarded myself with one segment for every quarter of a mile. I’m a simple girl. And life is sweet!

I know jogging is its own reward. And anything good you want to do is its own reward. But if some immediate gratification helps you get the job done and reap the longterm rewards, I say go for it.

You might just be surprised at how sweet mandarin oranges–and other simple rewards–can make your life in the little picture and the BIG picture!
