I love talking to clients about rewarding themselves. Today’s blog post is a by Christine Kane, a performer, songwriter, and creativity consultant. (I ran another post of hers, 9 Simple Solutions for Procrastinators, back in February.) Today’s post appeared in Christine’s great newsletter, Live Creative, and I’m reprinting it with permission.
