Jezicka, thanks for sharing the outstanding idea! My sister-in-law, who is writing a book, and I both loved this idea so much that we have already started our reward calendars! I had such a wonderfully relaxing time of picking out everything about my calendar and stickers. I got a Flavia 2 page-per-week calendar set from Day-Timer; I like her designs and quotes. I didn't like any of the Day-Timer planner books, so I bought a small 3-ring binder that perfectly accommodates the pages. I bought the following stickers:
Stars -- for work on voice-over goals
Music notes -- for when I practice my harp
Feet -- for when I exercise
Rainbows -- for synchronicity or signs/messages/gifts from the Universe
Clouds -- for when I have setbacks
Pink Flamingos -- for when I have FUN (between the day job and the voice-over career, all of these other things on the list tend to get lost....especially fun!)
Positive Words -- for when I accomplish big tasks or goals I decided to decorate the cover of my plain notebook. I started with a paper scrapbook frame, and then, would you believe I actually found little painted wood things of STARS, a MUSIC NOTE, a FOOT and a RAINBOW! I got foam, colored letters and spelled out the word
GOALS. My inner child is completely delighted with the appearance of my awesome book, and now I'm motivated to be able to give myself stickers for things. I had not been to aerobics in over 2 months, but now I've been twice in 2 days. Seeing those feet stickers yesterday and today makes me strangely happy! This is gonna be such FUN! Ooohh -- maybe I should give myself a pink flamingo for filling in my book!
