Sometimes knowing that there is a positive at the end of it can be really motivating.
That's a good idea. I often motivate myself to go to the gym in order to become more toned but when I'm there, I am increasingly tired with everything that has happened in the day (I work 10-12 hours a day) and I just want to go home. I also feel guilty for rewarding myself as I think that I don't deserve it or that I should of spent my money on something else if I was to buy something for myself.

Bills have begun building up as well as my stress levels again. I just hope it will all be worthwhile.
