Celebrate Your Workout Win with One of These Healthy Rewards — Healthy Nurse Healthy Nation® FitMind Focus: Building Mental Resilience for Physical Fitness Challenge, sponsored by Humana — Day 9
Reward Your Efforts
As we mentioned on Day 4, rewarding yourself isn’t just nice — it’s an important part of creating healthy habits!
After all of your hard work, it’s time to celebrate the effort. Rewarding yourself causes your brain to release dopamine, which makes you feel good — and motivates you to continue.
Focus on healthy rewards that bring you joy, like hobbies, self-care activities, taking in the arts, or quality time with friends.
Your Action for Tonight
Celebrate your win — no matter how large or small — with a healthy reward. Your “win” can include accomplishing a goal like showing up for 30 minutes of exercise every day for a week. It can also include a health-related accomplishment, like a healthier weight, lower blood pressure, or improved sleep.
Consider treats such as:
- A fun outing with friends or family
- New workout clothes
- Relaxing in a warm bubble bath
Bonus Action: Make it a team effort! Launch a workplace fitness challenge. When everyone hits a goal, celebrate with a group reward like a movie night or a healthy catered lunch.
Join us on day 10: A sneak peek - Warm your spirit with a community of like-minded peers.
