Changing Habits and Triggers in Addiction Literature
In addiction literature, habit triggers are defined as specific cues or situations that lead individuals to their addictive behavior. To overcome these triggers, alternative habits should be cultivated by associating them with new behaviors. It is essential to identify triggers like feeling tired or sick and establish different fallback activities that are recharging and fulfilling. This process involves practicing new behaviors until they are linked with the triggers, replacing the old addictive habits. It is important to acknowledge that productivity is about outcomes over time, and it's crucial to be kind to oneself during this transformation. By consistently associating triggers with different actions, individuals can change their habits and break free from addictive behaviors slowly over time.
