Identifying cues can help us change our habits from "summary" of The Habit by Susan Morse
Identifying cues can help us change our habits. By paying attention to the cues that trigger our habits, we can begin to understand the patterns that drive our behaviors. These cues can be anything from a specific time of day to a particular emotional state. Once we have identified these cues, we can start to see how they influence our habits. For example, if we notice that we always reach for a snack when we are feeling stressed, we can start to recognize stress as a cue for our snacking habit. With this awareness, we can then work on finding healthier ways to cope with stress, breaking the cycle of stress leading to snacking. In addition to identifying cues, it is also important to understand the rewards that reinforce our habits. Rewards are what keep us coming back to a habit, even if it is not serving us well. By examining the rewards we get from our habits, we can begin to see why we continue to engage in them. Once we have a clear understanding of both the cues and rewards associated with our habits, we can start to make changes. By substituting a healthier behavior for the old habit when we recognize the cue, we can begin to rewire our brains and create new, more positive habits. This process takes time and effort, but by consistently identifying cues and adjusting our behaviors, we can successfully change our habits for the better.
