Seize the power of positive reinforcement, and turbocharge your resolve!
It’s really important to mark your progress towards 1000 miles with a reward or a tangible sign of moving towards a great outcome. Positive reinforcement is something you deserve – and if you feel like you’re doing more with your miles your motivation and resolve will redouble. Here are some ideas from your fellow 1000-milers. We’d love you hear yours in the Facebook group!
“I'm knitting a scarf – two rows per day. The colour represents the number of miles walked, with a special shiny purple stripe when I reached 1000 miles.” – Mandy Cooke
“I’m making a walking blanket. I crochet one square a day with a colour depicting what I've seen that day – yellow and brown for a sunflower, blue for a kingfisher, purple for sloe berries etc.” – Christine Stevens
“This is what 1000 miles looks like in £1 coins.” – Pat Toulson
“I used to have a penny jar, but it was too easy to dip into, so now every milestone I send money to a lady I know and admire who runs a poultry sanctuary all out of her own pocket. Even a couple of pounds buys apples, lettuce, cucumber or tins of sweetcorn.” – Emma Stanley
