Routine, prayer, spending time with family, healthy diet and exercise, and objectively admirable accomplishments built from years of hard work. I like positive affirmations. My wife and I did something similar years ago when we were starting out and it was beneficial. It's similar to the idea of periodically sketching out your short, medium, and long-term goals. When you have a target in mind it helps you make micro-decisions which make the goal more attainable. For similar reasons I don't like the idea of using reminders to quit smoking. I suppose the best method is the one that works for you, but I find the most effective way to undo bad habits is cold turkey, along with maybe changing your surroundings, removing the context for the bad behavior.
