Identify Your Rewards
Published
We’re halfway through the challenge, and you should now have some self-care in your routine. How’s it going?
As you complete your self-care activity, you should feel some type of “reward.” The reward for any habit is the end result. For example, if exercising for 30 minutes is your self-care habit, the reward is how you feel when you’re done — increased energy, an upbeat mood from feel-good hormones, or even weight loss.
Here’s a sample habit loop that describes a reward for drinking your morning cup of Joe:
What reward do you receive when you show yourself some love in the form of self-care? Whatever it is, we hope it brings you some joy and fills up your cup. If your reward is significant enough, it’ll motivate you to keep doing your self-care habit.
Share what your reward will be with us here or reply to us on Twitter, in our private Facebook group or Instagram. Remember to tag us with #healthynurse!

| Cue | Craving | Response | Reward |
| You wake up. | You want to feel more awake, alive, and aware. | You drink a cup of coffee. | This satisfies your craving to feel awake, alive, and aware. Now, you associate drinking coffee with waking up. |
