34 | Don't Let Your Reward Undo Your Progress: Using Incentives to Build a Consistent Morning Quiet Time

Have you ever considered rewarding yourself for being consistent with your morning routine? Could a simple incentive help you build momentum in your morning quiet time? Or is it possible for a reward to accidentally distract you from the real goal? In this episode, I'm sharing how to use rewards and incentives to build consistency in your morning routine so you can create lasting habits that help you spend more time with God without losing sight of why you started. As Christian moms, we often struggle to stay consistent with our morning quiet time, especially when life feels busy and unpredictable.

In this episode, we'll talk about how to use rewards wisely, three important cautions to keep in mind, and how to create incentives that support your spiritual habits instead of undermining them. If you've been struggling with consistency in your Bible study, prayer time, or morning routine, this episode will help you build momentum while keeping your heart focused on what matters most.
