What do you do to reward yourself?
I set myself the goal of doing at least 20 mins walk per day outside with my reward being a matcha latte on a Friday if I manage to do it everyday.
Not only do I get great satisfaction ticking off my chart, but on the days I’ve felt like giving it a miss, looking at my chart has given the boost I need to get of my ass and go do it! I couldn’t bear to see a gap on the chart or miss out on my reward!
I’ve also signed up for a Conqueror Challenge where you walk a famous route in a set time - and best of all - you get a medal at the end of it! As someone who never received a medal for their sporting prowess, this is again a bit motivator for me!! (I’m currently walking across the Rocky Mountains and am well ahead of schedule)
It may feel childish but all the science says that if you celebrate and reward yourself for your small wins, that’s the best way to form or maintain a habit.
