If you can’t work breaks into your busy schedule, why not reward yourself a little bit? It is very easy. Just pick an amount of money that is appropriate to your means, from $5 to $100; it really does not matter. Now make a commitment to spend this money each week on purchasing something fun and enjoyable for yourself. It could be a candy bar, a DVD, a book, a pair of shoes, or whatever you otherwise would not have given yourself. When you enjoy your reward, remember that you are not such a bad person after all, and with some work and a lot of common sense, you’ll soon feel right as rain.
