Changing your behavior isn’t about willpower—it’s about understanding how habits work.
Cue–Routine–Reward
Habits form through repetition. A cue triggers a routine, and a reward reinforces it. For example, feeling stressed (cue) leads to snacking (routine) for comfort (reward).
To build better habits, keep the cue and reward the same—but change the routine.
Start Small
Big goals often lead to burnout. Start with one small action, like walking for five minutes a day or writing one sentence in a journal. Over time, it becomes second nature.
Final Thoughts
Habits shape our lives. With small, intentional changes, you can shift your mindset and daily routine for lasting growth.
