Harnessing triggers for positive habits

The podcast discusses how triggers play a crucial role in forming both good and bad habits. It highlights that bad habits are difficult to quit because certain triggers automatically lead to engaging in those behaviors. However, the silver lining is that triggers can also be harnessed to create positive habits. By consistently linking a specific trigger to a desired behavior, such as meditating as soon as waking up, these good habits become ingrained and easier to maintain over time.
