How to treat yourself in little ways every day
Try to fill your goody bag with something different every day to keep things fresh.
A glass of red wine with dinner.
Strolling along the beach at sunset.
Watching your favourite television show.
These are all little ways you can treat yourself every day.
Sir John Kirwan (Mentemia co-founder) calls this filling his goody bag. He makes sure he has something to look forward to every day, such as sharing a meal with friends, catching a movie, or trying a new recipe.
