I've never found rewards compelling, for myself or from others.
While dieting I had cheat days. But that was never a lifestyle that stuck. The only thing like that that stuck was a slight change in timing and veering towards less sweets and booze.
The only thing I've found compelling is my own internal drive and sense of accomplishment.
- ali92hm 6y agoThanks for this. Someone else also mentioned the "sense of accomplishment" feeling. While I've never thought about this before, I think it's a pretty good one cause you can't get it in any other way and certainly cannot pay for it. That probably makes it better than anything else if you can use it as a "reward" when building a habit cycle.
- kleer001 6y agoThe real tragedy, I think, is that (as far as I understand it from looking at other animals) the personality component known as Drive or Grit is heavily Nature over nurture. Sure, you can learn it, but it really doesn't stick unless it comes from inside :-(
