Habits -The Habit cycle

-

 "Meriam Webster" defines Habit as -"An acquired mode of behavior that has become nearly or completely involuntary." 

Psychological studies reveal that 95% of everything we feel, think, do, and achieve is the result of learned habits. Habits are developed over time by slightest adjustments in our daily routines that can dramatically alter the outcomes of our life. Our habits and routines allow us to use minimal conscious energy for everyday tasks. 

We so easily overestimate the importance of one defining moment and underestimate the value of making small improvements on a daily basis. Too often we convince ourselves that massive success requires massive action.   

A daily routine built on good habits are the difference that separates the most successful amongst us from everyone else. To understand and change our habits we first have to understand the Habit Loop it has 3 components: 

1.Cue 

2.Routine 

3.Reward  

A cue is something that triggers a behavior and makes the behavior unfold automatically. A Routine is our physical mental and emotional response to the cue which is repeated regularly. A reward is the most important component of the loop and it is responsible for the existence of Habits. 

To change our Habits firstly we have to identify the cue or the trigger event it can be anything it can be a specific period of time or a particular situation. Then we have to start bringing tiny changes in our routine and behavior. By understanding this Habit loop, we can easily learn and unlearn any habit. One of the core reasons that people fail to build habits that last is that people a few make small changes fail to produce tangible results and decide to stop. To produce habits we have to be patient. All big things come from a small tiny decision.
