Changing habits involves identifying and modifying cues and rewards from "summary" of The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg
Changing habits is about understanding the cues and rewards that drive our behavior. By identifying these cues and rewards, we can begin to modify our habits effectively. For example, if you have a habit of snacking on unhealthy foods when you feel stressed, the cue may be the feeling of stress and the reward may be the temporary relief it provides. To change this habit, you can start by becoming aware of the cue - in this case, the feeling of stress. Next, you can experiment with different behaviors that provide a similar reward, such as taking a walk or practicing deep breathing exercises. By replacing the unhealthy snack with a healthier alternative that still provides relief, you can begin to shift your habit towards a more positive outcome.- And it may require trial and error to find new habits that work for you. But by focusing on understanding and modifying these cues and rewards, you can make lasting changes in your habits and improve your overall well-being.
