Are your habits rooted in alignment or just a reward for following the rules?
In this episode of This Life or Something Better, Priscilla unpacks the hidden ways we sabotage consistency by turning healthy choices into conditional rewards. From "dessert comes after dinner" to "I earned this splurge," we often rely on rules and incentives that disconnect us from our values. If your habits keep slipping, or it's hard to form new ones, this might be why.
You'll learn why external motivation fades, how to rebuild patterns from identity instead of obligation, and what it means to move from earning your joy to choosing it freely. Finishing with powerful reflection questions, this episode invites you to shift from pressure to presence, so your habits can stick and the action becomes the reward.
