🔄 4. Making Habits Stick Through Rewards
Definition:
Rewarding yourself for doing a habit makes your brain want to repeat it. The reward can be small, like a quick break or snack.
Example:
"I treat myself to a coffee only after I’ve studied for an hour. It’s a reward that makes studying feel worth it."
Application:
Find a reward that motivates you. If you study for 30 minutes, reward yourself with a song you love or a short chat with a friend.

But here’s the thing: by understanding how your brain works, you can trick it into building new paths, helping you get closer to your goals with a lot less effort than you’d expect.
