Giving myself a reward!

My therapist has me trying a reward system for myself and my goal this week was to really go through with the acupuncture session and not let my health anxiety win! And I did! Soo today I am rewarding myself with a good drive to a town over to go to a book store I like! I know it sounds dorky but I just love a new book! With all the technology these days I rarely buy a real book! So I m going to first enjoy the drive through all the pretty fall colors and then enjoy walking around the lovely smell of books!!!!!!! Sometimes I think giving ourselves a special treat can really make a difference! Hope everyone has a great day!!!!!
