Making The Rewards Obvious
Some habits give you delayed rewards. For example, exercising can be unpleasant in the present but rewarding in the future.

You can treat yourself to a massage after you exercise. Crafting your habits this way will give you both short-term and long-term rewards and increase your motivation.
