I’ve been struggling to stay consistent with the goals I set for myself — like exercising daily or reading before bed. I usually start strong, but after a week or two, I lose interest. I read somewhere that rewarding yourself can help reinforce new habits, but I’m not sure how to do that in a way that actually works. I don’t want to rely on junk food or shopping just to feel like I’ve “earned” something. Has anyone tried a healthy reward system that actually motivates you to keep going?

That’s exactly why I started using the liven app — it turns daily habits into something kind of fun. You set simple goals, and as you complete them, you get small rewards that you can actually use later. It’s helped me stay on track without feeling like I’m forcing myself. The little boosts of motivation really do make a difference when you’re trying to build something new into your routine.

I've noticed that tying habits to specific times or places helps more than anything for me. Like always doing stretches right after brushing my teeth — it just flows better that way. I guess rewards work too, but sometimes simplicity wins out. Everyone clicks with different methods.
