Habit Myths

Your brain is a habit-building machine. Learn the science behind cue-routine-reward. These three steps create a habit loop: A cue prompts an action, a routine is how you react to the cue and the reward completes the habit loop.

Habit Loops

Right on Cue

Habit 鈥渞eminders鈥 can take many forms. Find cues that will make your new habits successful. These can be cues from your environment (something you see or hear) or internal (something you feel or remember). Existing habits can serve as cues for new habits 鈥 that鈥檚 called 鈥渉abit-stacking.鈥

Find Your Reward

The reward completes the habit loop, and it encourages you to repeat the habit. Start by choosing a habit that you enjoy. Next, find a positive outcome or a positive feeling associated with that habit. Cherish that reward each time your repeat the habit.

Failure

No such thing. Build on your less-than-successful attempts. Learn from them, and try again. Remember, every 鈥渇ailure鈥 is an opportunity to make your habit stronger. Recover from setbacks by evaluating the cue, routine and reward behind your habit. Don鈥檛 be afraid to try again!
