Reward yourself every time you make a good decision. A small sweet treat. A warm bath. Some cozy socks. Play a game online. Order yourself something nice. Buy a new book to read. Listen to a favorite song. Whatever.
Impressive. I am going to see if I can try this. Online shopping is another animal. However, if I use local businesses instead of online, it may work. All my daily needs can be met this way. I will have to be satisfied with this.
