One last email about habit change.
For a few reasons;
1. I really want to hammer it home, so that you actually do something with it, rather than just tell yourself “I know what I need to do, I just need to do it”
2. A quick summary really helps us remember the key points
3. I’ve got to write quite a lot of blogs today before I go away and an extra one will always help
It’s mainly the first two though.
Promise.
So here it is.
The habit loop consists of;
Cue
Craving
Response
Reward
To stop, change or create a new habit, we can look to approach any or all of these four in the following ways;
Cue – Hidden – Obvious
Craving – Unattractive – Attractive
Response – Hard – Easy
Reward – Unsatisfying – Satisfying
It might only be small changes in each of these.
But I’m sure you’ll agree that attempting to create a new habit that has a clear cue, is a little bit more attractive, a little bit easier and a little bit more satisfying is more likely to happen.
And attempting to stop or reduce an existing habit by not being reminded of it as much, it being a little bit less attractive, a bit harder to do and a bit more unsatisfying will make that more likely too.
If you remember all those words, I guarantee you will benefit (like I guarantee that you will benefit from clicking www.myrise.co.uk/apply and trying out our four week programme)
If you forget them all by tomorrow, this was pointless.
One last time;
Cue – Hidden – Obvious
Craving – Unattractive – Attractive
Response – Hard – Easy
Reward – Unsatisfying – Satisfying
Much love,
Jon ‘Dismissal’ Hall
