Episode notes

To change a habit, it's crucial to modify both external and internal cues that trigger the routine. For instance, shifting from watching TV when sitting on the couch to reading books can disrupt the usual routine. External cues like the environment and internal cues such as stress can prompt behaviors like drinking wine or smoking. By altering cues and routines, it becomes feasible to modify behaviors and break the habit loop effectively.

Today, we're going inside the world of habits—how to form good ones and kick the bad ones to the curb. Did you know that nearly half of what we do every day is driven by habits? Crazy, right?

Here's what we'll cover:

1. The Power of Habits: Discover how about 40-48% of our daily actions are on autopilot, thanks to habits. It’s all about saving brain power, but sometimes it can lock us into unwanted behaviors.

2. The Habit Loop: Learn about the three-step process behind every habit: cue, routine, and reward. Understanding this loop is key to making real changes.

3. Spotting Cues and Triggers: Get to know the cues that set off your habits. Whether it's an external trigger like your environment or an internal one like your emotions, recognizing these is the first step to change.

4. Routine and Reward: Dive into the nitty-gritty of routines and the rewards that keep you coming back for more. It's all about those feel-good moments that make habits stick, thanks to a little thing called dopamine.

5. Making Positive Changes: Ready to make some changes? We’ll talk about becoming aware of your habits and setting up new, positive ones. Celebrate your wins and be mindful of those triggers to replace bad habits with awesome ones.
