These days, treating yourself isn&#8217;t just relegated to special occasions\u2014according to <a href=\"https:\/\/zevia.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/zevia.com\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"Zevia\" data-node-id=\"2.5\" class=\"body-link css-1i7jlb0 emevuu60\">Zevia<\/a>&#8216;s State of the Little Treat Report, which surveyed over 800 consumers nationwide, 72% of respondents treat themselves at least once a day (or more!). <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Treat culture is taking a page out of the self-care handbook, with many people referring to their treats as a &#8220;midday motivation,&#8221; a &#8220;mental break,&#8221; or a &#8220;pick-me-up.&#8221; In fact, 75% of those surveyed associate treats with self-care and emotional maintenance\u2014so gone are the days when a fun little treat sparks feelings of guilt or shame. Instead, the majority of respondents described their treat moments with feelings of contentment, happiness, satisfaction, and refreshment.  <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"4\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Regular treats might also help break some less desirable habits (talk about a win-win!). Almost all of those surveyed said they&#8217;d trade at least one guilty pleasure for a treat, including happy hour drinking, impulse shopping, skipping the gym, and binge-watching. That afternoon bite of chocolate is looking really good right about now.  <\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"watch-next\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-13\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Peak treat time is between 2 pm and 4 pm, and nearly 70% would travel up to 20 minutes for that perfect bite. Treats are now a form of self-care indulgence, and people are thinking intentionally about their rituals. As the report puts it, &#8220;Today\u2019s treats are thoughtful, not thoughtless. People are shifting from impulse to intention, from indulgence to maintenance, and are finding joy in balance.&#8221; Amen to that.  <\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"editorial-link\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-14\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"embed\">\n<aside class=\"css-fcvumo e94w1mj1\"\/><\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zevia surveyed over 800 people and found that enjoying a treat is a form of self-care.
