On Habits, Rerouting Them, and Using Them to Renew Your Life

✸

To begin to combat automatic behaviors or processes, break your habits up into their components.

Cue. A cue is a trigger that tells your brain to go into automatic mode and which habit to use. This trigger can be anything from a physical location and a person, to a smell, a taste or an emotional state.

Routine. The routine is the activity you are about to perform when you are triggered by a cue. It can be physical, mental or emotional.

Reward. Duhigg refers to the reward as something that helps our brain figure out if a particular loop is worth remembering in the future. The reward is mainly achieved mentally after a connection with something physical like a chocolate or a cigarette.

✸

The more we encounter this loop, the more automatic the habitual process becomes. However, the real moving force behind the habit loop is what Duhigg refers to as cravings. As we associate cues with certain rewards, a subconscious craving emerges in our brains that starts the habit loop spinning. Whenever we crave something, our brain somehow urges us to feel the same feeling we will experience when we actually reach the reward stage of the loop. The stronger the craving, the stronger our desire to perform that particular habit.

I realized recently (again) that in order to get to the next level as an artist/music producer/musician I need to become a version of myself that is capable of getting there.

So, I started Analyzing myself, good habits, bad habits, and triggers.

Have you ever thought about what triggers you to behave in a manner that is inconsistent with the person you want to become?

If not, I highly recommend starting yesterday before its to late.

Typically, people who exercise, start eating better and becoming more productive at work. They smoke less and show more patience with colleagues and family. They use their credit cards less frequently and say they feel less stressed. Exercise is a keystone habit that triggers widespread change.

Change might not be fast and it isn't always easy. But with time and effort, almost any habit can be reshaped.

Champions don’t do extraordinary things. They do ordinary things, but they do them without thinking, too fast for the other team to react. They follow the habits they’ve learned.
