I had been thinking about my matrix that I created. What if it’s just a one-axis grid: pleasure, meaning, engagement? That would make it a bit easier to come up with stuff perhaps.

Pleasure:
ice cream
good meal @ favorite restaurant
take a nap
get a massage
take a nice hot bath

Engagement:
bike ride – exercise
take some time to read
go to an art museum
walk in the woods/park/amongst nature
watch a favorite tv show on TiVo
play a video game

Meaning:
talk to an old friend/relative on the phone
spend time with your pet
organize your home/work space (some people like to reward themselves in this way – I do!)
engage in a small goal-related task that you enjoy or is fun

Remember: these are little rewards for process goals, and are meant to be small and enjoyable. There are a lot of things that can go under these categories, and we want to limit it to small, fun activities to reward ourselves with.

Have fun!
