MANILA, Philippines — A lot of us have the habit of pacing our activities by time and season. Sundays, for example, are our unofficial day for rewards–our last chance to finally indulge before the rush of the new week begins. The start of the holiday season triggers the same. As soon as the ber-months roll in, we immediately feel more festive as if there’s a shift in the air.
But have you ever stopped and wondered if rewards should have a clear timeline? Should you really put a deadline on joy?
Nestlé Temptations’ new line of Sundae flavors begs to differ.
The household name for quality ice cream believes that you don’t need permission to inject even the most ordinary days with a little bit of sweet magic. If you’re used to boxing your days into small, strict grids and seasons, then it’s about time for a mindset shift.
Here are four perspectives that can help you think differently.
1. Small wins are still wins, regardless of time and season
And yes, they deserve the same celebration as your other milestones. Why limit yourself to celebrating only life-changing milestones when you can reward your progress every day? Did you finally fold the laundry that’s been resting on your drying rack for days? Celebrate. You want to buy yourself a little gift after successfully finishing a project at work? You don’t need to wait for Christmas for that. How you look at the weight and value of your actions is entirely up to you.
2. Inject boring tasks with festive cheer
Boredom is a state of mind that you can easily flip if you make the experience more rewarding. Your usual nine-to-five might not be the most adrenaline-pumping routine, but you can surely build simple rewards into your day to keep things exciting. Frame a mundane task similar to the experience of unwrapping a holiday gift. Behind all the Christmas paper—in this case, all the tasks you have to peel off and go through—is a reward waiting for you to be savored.
Take your afternoon break! After finishing a work task, indulge yourself in an icy treat like Nestlé Temptations Classic Affogato Sundae. Its creamy vanilla flavor, blended with bold coffee, is the perfect afternoon work pick-me-up, offering a balance of sweetness and a caffeine kick.
3. Create a healthy relationship with rewards and gifts
If you’re a parent, you can probably particularly relate to this. Rewards and gifts can be a powerful tool for kids—as long as you don’t encourage a restrictive mindset towards them. Instead, use them as a form of encouragement for positive behavior.
Did they do their homework on time? Treat them with a Sundae! Nestlé Temptations Mango Cheesecake Sundae is something you and your kids will surely love with its fruity flavor and tropical freshness. Life is sweeter when we celebrate positive steps like this, regardless of time and season.
4. You deserve to be happy every day
The way you celebrate yourself should not depend on the day of the week or the month in the calendar. Life shouldn’t be boxed into strict timelines because you show up every day for yourself anyway. So, when you feel like rewarding yourself, do it! You don’t have to wait for Christmas or the end of the week to deserve anything that can make you happy. And yes, treating yourself kindly even on your less stellar days is just as important. You are not expected to be in your A-game all the time, and you deserve good things even for just trying.
Your actions don’t even need to be grand. Sweet, little rewards can inject happiness just as well. Get a Nestlé Temptations Salted Caramel Sundae salted caramel sundae on days when you feel like things could be sweeter, for example. Its perfect combination of sweet, rich caramel with a hint of salt that will surely make you remind you that there are better days ahead.
Remember: you deserve good things, even if you didn’t do something exceptional or reach a self-imposed finish line. Do not wait for Sundays or holidays to enjoy the way that you want to. Instead, make happiness happen for you the way you want it, when you want it.
Just like enjoying a Nestlé Temptations Sundae, indulge in every moment of your everyday life as if you are meant to be celebrated–because you are.
Nestlé Temptations is not just a dessert, but an everyday indulgence that makes every moment worth it.
