TMS #042: The Self-Rewarding Challenge

How to Spark Joy, Boost Motivation, and Inspire Others

Read time: 3 minutes

Most of us have a lot of things to do, whether at work or at home. We may feel overwhelmed by our responsibilities and don’t know where to start. It's easy to lose motivation and to give up when this happens. So how do you motivate yourself when you're stuck in a rut?

Think about the things that make you happy and bring joy!

As humans, we all need some reward for everything we do. Whether receiving praise from others or feeling proud for having accomplished something new. If no reward is attached to our actions, then what's the point?

What is the Self-Rewarding Challenge?

The Self-Rewarding Challenge sparks joy, boosts motivation and inspires others. It's simple. Post a social media picture or video of yourself rewarding yourself for doing something good.

Use the hashtags #SelfRewardingChallenge #OneHabitAway

Tag @Mindtutorials on Twitter and @Dr Christian Passlick on LinkedIn.

If you want to join the challenge, here are some ideas for how you can reward yourself:

  • Buy yourself flowers (or whatever flower makes you happy).

  • Buy yourself a coffee at Starbucks or make it at home. It doesn't matter! Just enjoy having delicious caffeine in your system. You deserve it!

  • Buy yourself a new book to read! Or, if you're at home, go ahead and read one of your old favorites.

  • Take yourself out for lunch or dinner. You deserve it!

  • Buy yourself a new outfit (or some other clothing item).

How do you take part?

Participation is simple.

  • Start the challenge by choosing a reward that inspires you. Then share your progress with #SelfRewardingChallenge and #OneHabitAway

  • Invite friends to join in

  • Share your ideas for self-rewarding challenges with me on Twitter @Mindtutorials or LinkedIn @Dr Christian Passlick

How does it work?

The Self-Rewarding Challenge is a simple, powerful tool that helps you develop new habits and become more productive. You'll use it to build momentum toward your goals by rewarding yourself for doing the things you need to do. And then celebrating those rewards with others!

You can choose any reward that will make you feel good about yourself: Going out with friends or spending time with family, learning something new, or trying a new hobby. It doesn't matter what kind of reward you choose. Ensuring it feels like an accomplishment (and not just another chore) matters.

You can also choose how long your challenge lasts. A day? A week? A month? Longer than that? This flexibility makes it easy for anyone to get started on their terms. At the same time, it helps to achieve one's goals over time.

Why should you care about the Self-Rewarding Challenge?

The Self-Rewarding Challenge is a fun way to motivate yourself and get more done. It's also a way for you to inspire others, help them be more productive, and get joy out of life.

The Challenge can be used in several ways:

  • To spark joy by rewarding yourself for small achievements (like meditating every morning) or big ones (like losing weight).

  • As a motivational tool that will keep you going when times are tough or when there isn't much incentive outside the reward itself.

  • As a way to get started on something (like cleaning your house or writing a book).

  • As an incentive to keep going when you're unsure what else to do.

How can you get more involved?

You can invite your friends to join you in the challenge by sharing on social media or email. You can also write about it on your blog or create a challenge of your own!

  • Use hashtags #SelfRewardingChallenge and #OneHabitAway when posting about this challenge on social media.

  • If you're looking for inspiration, check out some of the old posts from other bloggers who have taken part.

You have the power to spark joy, boost motivation, and inspire others

You can spark joy, boost motivation, and inspire others. This is because you are your own reward. When you feel good about yourself, being kinder to others is easier.

You can use the self-rewarding challenge to spark joy in your life by:

  • Take time every day for something that pleases you (like reading a book or going for a walk).

  • Do something nice for someone else without expecting anything in return (such as helping someone carry groceries).

  • Setting goals for yourself that reflect what matters most to you so that when they're reached, it feels like winning!

Conclusion

Take a moment to think about what you're grateful for. Then, take action on it! Whether sending a thank-you note or making someone smile. You can spark joy, boost motivation, and inspire others.
