What I do is have a weekly reminder I call 'alignment' set for the weekend, this one can't be skipped and for that it should be very easy to go through, in my case when I see this one I go to Trello and check some notes I have there that explain how I see the world, what I want to accomplish and the goals, should take around 5 to 10', based on these goals it's when I create those small daily reminders for the habits I want to cultivate.

So, worst that can happen is I miss a week and I'm then reminded of why I wanted to do this and I can get started for next week.

The most important thing is to be kind to yourself, run or walk at your own pace, falling a couple of times doesn't mean you have to give up, eventually you will get there, even if you skip a couple of days or weeks or give up for a short time and take over later on. It's self improvement, nobody is supposed to be perfect.
