You had to have been living under a rock if you haven’t seen the gif from Parks and Recreation. It always gives me a good laugh and reminds me to do just that. On that particular episode they talked about treating themselves to clothes, fragrances, massages, mimosas and fine leather goods. In fact, they have a whole devoted to treating themselves every year and it’s the best day of the year! I quote the lines along with them every time I watch that episode and cackle, but they really do have a good point. We work hard and often times forget to treat ourselves. I often thought of recreating the video with a few different lines on why I would treat myself instead of what I would treat myself with and here’s a rough cut.
Made it to work every day at 6:30am for a month without being late? TREAT YO’ SELF!
Filed taxes before the April deadline with no errors? TREAT YO’ SELF!
Closed 18 projects since January 1st? TREAT YO’ SELF!
Washed and folded your laundry? TREAT YO’ SELF!
Got in an extra 2 miles on your walk/run today? TREAT YO’ SELF!
Created a budget and stuck to it? TREAT YO’ SELF!
Now it doesn’t always have to material things like the ones expressed on Parks & Rec. It could be an evening of silence and solitude (thank you Apple for the ‘do not disturb feature’), a trip to a local museum on a free night or even an extra hour of sleep on the weekends. Don’t get me wrong, material things are nice and at times that treat you give yourself could be a new lippie from Colour Pop or a new bikini from Victoria’s Secret and there’s nothing wrong with that. But you know what makes those treats even better? Not having to pay for them yourself.
