Course overview
Lesson Overview
8.8 – Teaching Clients to Reward Themselves: Learning to self-reward builds lifelong independence. When people recognize their own progress, motivation multiplies. It transforms discipline into personal pride. Teaching self-reward involves noticing wins and celebrating them calmly. This can be as simple as positive self-talk or taking a short break. Internal celebration strengthens self-esteem and resilience. Over time, external praise becomes a bonus, not a need. Self-reward also encourages responsibility and emotional maturity. It builds a growth mindset that thrives on reflection. The skill of self-reinforcement turns effort into confidence for life.
