“The things we do in life are exhausting, even if we love doing them. There’s something about having a treat to look forward to that’s really really motivating.” – Terri Cole

Intro

Does it often feel like life is a grind of checking off endless to-do lists, where you barely have a moment for yourself?

The emphasis on hustle culture in society has conditioned many of us to believe that rest and reward must be earned through hard work.

It’s no wonder “little treat culture,” a trend on social media that encourages us to use small rewards to stay motivated, is exploding in popularity.

As a little treat gal for many years, I want to talk about the power of motivating yourself by using little treats throughout your day, the psychology behind why they work, and how treats can make life a little sweeter.
