Q&A - Making and Breaking Habits

In this episode Brian takes on a question from one of our listeners about making and breaking habits. QUESTION: When looking at breaking habits, the strategy is to change the routine. But if the trigger stays the same and a lot of the routines are subconscious won’t the old action appear before the client is even aware of it? I can see how the food example would work as you can’t eat what isn’t in your house, but reacting badly to a referees call for example, if it’s an automatic reaction won’t the routine occur automatically, before you can intervene with your new routine? Is it just a case of catching yourself as it’s happening and starting the new routine instead?
