Any amount of time we spend doing what we enjoy is not wasted. Life, as they say is short and sometimes we do need that instant gratification we feel we have earned after maybe a hard day at work, looking after our children or other loved ones. There is nothing wrong with that, it is healthy, in moderation. Over indulgence may sometimes lead to ill-health and debt.

By all means, enjoy yourself, enjoy life, treat yourself but be mindful. Overdoing anything in life soon becomes less enjoyable. While rewarding myself, I make a conscious effort to ensure whatever activity I am engaging in will not go from giving a feeling of contentment to disappointment. Savour the moment, you really don't have to drown in it.
