Bribing Yourself?

Do you ever bribe yourself to get stuff done? What's your favorite thing to bribe yourself with?
Mine is coffee (which I prob can't drink anymore) and cheese quesidillas from Taco Bell with that salt ladden jalepeno cheddar sauce they put on it (the only fast food I like).
I also bribe myself with fabric (like okay, sew through 5 yards of fabric and you can buy 5 new prints) or pedicures (for bigger things, like going to a concert with my husband I am going to be uncomftrable at).
So, what kind of things do you bribe yourself with?

 

im gonna finish this and then im gonna roll a jont

 

I don't. All I really do is meditate. The rest comes naturally. Outcome-oriented punish/reward techniques throw me. I like to work in process-oriented ways and let the results take care of themselves. Starting (badly) is enough.

 

No... If I want something or want to do it, I do it or get it..

If I understood the question correctly...

 

i guess you can call it a bribe, but i don't get to drink any beer on the weekend if i don't stick to my diet and training. its just until i get consistent again

 

I wish I could play these types of bribe games with myself.
But I just don't or can't.
So it either gets done or doesn't.
It usually doesn't.
I just about managed to get some trousers on to day.
I impressed myself.

 

I just clapped for you...

 

Thanks. Next week: shirt

Just kiddin'. I'm just sayin' how lazy I am. I wish my body was as agile as my mind.

 

I'm the same way. I wish I could trick myself but I'm too smart for myself and never fall for it.

 

Mmm, never thought about it as a trick. I guess it is.

 

I like to think of it as more of a deal. I just had an awesome cheese quesidilla

 

See, I've tried that but I've already convinced myself that I'm in charge of my own destiny and so to try and deny myself something for not doing something else never seems to work. I just do it anyway.

 

yes maam I do!

 

Bella i like your 'self training' psychology.

i do the same things with my two dogs. if they are good or shit away from the beaten path i give them a scubby snack.


im not calling you a dog. though you could probably get along in a wolf pack well.

 

no,i have a sense of responsibility. if things need to get done i do them.

i dont have a need to play childish games with myself.

 

Hahhaaaa. It's very pavlonian, but whatever works, right? I work outside the home only like 10 hours a week, so I have to be careful, or I can waste my whole day away and not do anything (I have days I let myself do that too sometimes).

 

That is awesome that you can stay on task 100 percent of the time. .

 

I get stuff done because I like the results and feeling of accomplishment. Not feeling stressed and anxious is reward enough for me I guess. I mean, I buy clothes and good food, but it's never a give and take situation, it's just livin'.

 

I try it the other way "I'll do it after I get a cup of coffee"
it doesn't work for me though

 

I don't really bribe myself, I just indulge in whatever I get a craving for if I have the money and means to get it.
