Dear Sarah,
</p>
<p style="margin:0;margin-bottom:0">
</p>
<p style="margin:0;margin-bottom:0">
Not too long ago, there was a trend I’ll call “little treat” culture storming the internet. Influencers everywhere were telling us that not only is it okay to have a “little treat,” but that we
<em>
deserve
</em>
it. What they were getting at—and rightly so—is that life can be difficult, and we want to feel rewarded after we persevere through a challenge. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that.
</p>
<p style="margin:0;margin-bottom:0">
</p>
<p style="margin:0;margin-bottom:0">
Except what do we mean by “reward?” What do we mean by “treat?”
</p>
<p style="margin:0;margin-bottom:0">
</p>
<p style="margin:0;margin-bottom:0">
These generic words often have meanings that vary and are unique to each person. In other words, they are wired to different connections in the brain. A lot of times, these connections were created in childhood. Your first understanding of “treat” might come from a teacher or parent telling you that if you sad quietly, you’d get a “treat.” When you complied, they “rewarded” you with a piece of candy.
</p>
<p style="margin:0;margin-bottom:0">
</p>
<p style="margin:0;margin-bottom:0">
Because of these interactions, it’s common for the brain to be programmed to associate “treat” or “reward” with a tasty food or beverage—and probably not one that aligns with your health goals. I certainly was never offered broccoli as a reward. But that’s okay. We can learn and take back control. Everything we do, think, and say contributes to how our brains are programmed. This means you can use language intentionally to “retrain your brain” and take charge. It all comes down to getting very specific.
</p>
<p style="margin:0;margin-bottom:0">
</p>
<p style="margin:0;margin-bottom:0">
Let’s say I had a hard day at work, and I want a “treat” or “reward” for getting through it. That generic language might result in my reaching for the candy in the cupboard—the first “reward” that comes to mind. However, if I catch myself following this generic “reward” pathway, I might stop and say to myself, “I’ve had a really hard day, and now I would like to do something quiet to relax and recharge.”
<strong>
<em>
By pinpointing the feeling I want to create for myself, I’ve already altered what I might be considering doing.
</em>
</strong>
<strong>
</strong>
It’s not the candy I want now; instead, I’ll go for a walk, or play some of my favorite music, or snuggle with my dog. Then, after I create that desired feeling of relaxation and recharge, then I can say, “Wow, that was great. I really treated myself by creating some solitude in a peaceful environment.”
</p>
<p style="margin:0;margin-bottom:0">
</p>
<p style="margin:0;margin-bottom:0">
Every time you do this intentional redirecting from automatic “generic reward” to the specific feeling you want, you change the pathway associated with that word “treat.” With practice, you start training your brain to reach for the things that will
<em>
really
</em>
make you feel good—true treats.

<ul start="1" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;list-style-type:revert">
<li aria-level="1" style="Margin:0">
The first step is to be aware. Practice simply recognizing when you are using those terms and going for that automatic “reward” or “treat” pathway. Once you’ve recognized what’s happening, ask yourself: What is the feeling I’m trying to achieve with a treat? Proud? Relaxed? Recharged? Energized? Am I self-soothing and trying to feel less sad, mad, or anxious?
</li>
<li aria-level="1" style="Margin:0">
Now that you know the outcome you
<em>
really
</em>
want, you can decide: What else can I do to achieve that feeling?
</li>
<li aria-level="1" style="Margin:0">
Finally, when you’ve successfully given yourself that experience that truly makes you feel good, you can say, “What a great treat!”

The first step is to be aware. Practice simply recognizing when you are using those terms and going for that automatic “reward” or “treat” pathway. Once you’ve recognized what’s happening, ask yourself: What is the feeling I’m trying to achieve with a treat? Proud? Relaxed? Recharged? Energized? Am I self-soothing and trying to feel less sad, mad, or anxious?
</li>
<li aria-level="1" style="Margin:0">
Now that you know the outcome you
<em>
really
</em>
want, you can decide: What else can I do to achieve that feeling?
</li>
<li aria-level="1" style="Margin:0">
Finally, when you’ve successfully given yourself that experience that truly makes you feel good, you can say, “What a great treat!”
</li>
