The Loop - Overflow


Hello Reader,

I hope you are doing well.

This past week, our discussion was on how habits are born. In his book, The Power To Change, Craig Groeschel says, "A habit is basically behavioral autopilot born of the process of cue, craving, response, and reward." A cue is "a trigger that alerts your brain to go into autopilot by engaging the habit."

Below are five categories of cues.

  2. Time
  3. Mood
  4. Moments
  5. People

Reflection

Learning more about the different cues that lead to habits can help us start new habits and stop old habits.

I’d love to hear how this applies to your life. Could you hit “Reply” and tell me about your experience?
