11. Go Someplace You’ve Never Been Before (online)
Museums, Galleries, Amusement Parks, and many more venues have really upped their online presence. Visit the website of a cultural or entertainment spot, and see what they have to offer! I have recently visited the Taj Mahal and the Louvre this way
12. Sell Something on the Internet
What’s more rewarding than making a little extra money? Find something around the house that has value and post it for sale online. For large items, Craigslist or Marketplace are the best bet for a quick return. For small, more valuable items, let Amazon or eBay sell it for you.
13. Search for New Music
I love having the latest songs on my phone, but I can never find the time (or remember) to download them. As a reward, maybe I’ll take 20 minutes today to see what's new that thrills me in music.
14. Make a Decadent Dessert
Tie on that apron and mix up something decadent and delicious. Don’t worry about the calorie count, either — this is a reward.
15. Indulge in a Guilty Pleasure
Whether it’s watching trashy TV or reading a gossip rag, kick up your feet and get lost in a world full of the ridiculous.
16. Schedule a Quick Grooming Session
Maybe you want your eyebrows waxed or perhaps those hands and feet need a little TLC. Give your favorite body specialist a call and schedule an appointment. Or better yet, YouTube DIY directions for a facial or manicure.
17. Play Your Favorite Game
Sometimes, to get through the workday, you need a little “you” time. Play Words with Friends on Facebook or another of your favorite games during your lunch break.
18. Turn Old Clothes Into New Clothes
Whenever I clean out my closet, there are so many things I don’t want anymore. But before I throw them out, I think to myself, how can I repurpose these? If you’re handy with a needle and thread, there are lots of ways to make something old new again.
19. Tap Into Your Creative Side
Pull out your box of crafts and paints and make something extraordinary that you can gift or hang on your own wall for you and your guests to admire.
20. Take a Nap
This is at the bottom of the list because I think it’s the ultimate reward. Naps are a great reward because you wake up refreshed and ready to go. Turn off the TV, shut the blinds, and let yourself get some rest. You deserve it!
