It's been a great ride so far 🎒

Thank you all for being apart of it ❀

Let's go over "Atomic Habits" πŸ“”

The laws that allow you to form and break habits πŸ’ͺ

[A THREAD]
There are 4 laws which form the neurological loop:

πŸ”»Cue πŸ””
πŸ”»Craving 😬
🟒Response πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ
🟒Reward πŸ†

The first two being apart of the "Problem phase"

With the latter being apart of the "Solution phase"

The Habit Loop allows you to create automatic habits πŸ“ˆ
1. Cue πŸ””

We'll use the example of your Mobile Phone.

- Your phone buzzes with a notification πŸ“²

Being in the "Problem phase" a Cue has been created❗

Now ask yourself.

"What would I do next?" πŸ€”
2. Craving 😬

You're now craving it!

- Wanting to see the contents of the message πŸ“¬

This is when you naturally shift to the "Solution phase".

Being motivated to solve the issue.
3. Response πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

In order to deal with the problem you:

- Pick up your phone & read the message

A simple fix to your problem!
4. Reward πŸ†

- You've now satisfied your craving and read the message

This now associates you picking up your phone πŸ‘‹

Every time you receive a notification πŸ“²

A habit which most of the world has formed.

Here's how you can apply this to Good & Bad habits ⬇
🟒 How to create a good habit:

1. Cue - Make it obvious
2. Craving - Make it attractive
3. Response - Make it easy
4. Reward - Make it Satisfying

What does this neccesarily mean though?
1. "Make it obvious"

- Design your environement for easy cues
- Stack new habits with old ones

2. "Make it attractive"

- Join a culture where your desired behaviour is normal
(E.g Running Club)
- Do something you enjoy immediately after
- Add a needed habit with a wanted one
3. "Make it easy"

- Reduce friction and make the process easier to start
- Prime you environment for easy future actions
- Automate your habits by investing in them.
(E.g Alarm clock)

4. "Make it satisfying"

- Forming your new habit
- Give yourself an immeditate reward
How to lose a bad habit πŸ”»

1. "Make it invisible"
- Reduce your exposure to cues in your environment

2. "Make it unattractive"
- Highlight the benefits of avoiding your bad habit
3. "Make it difficult"
- Increase the amount of effort to do that habit

4. "Make it unsatisfying"

- Get an accountability partner

Throughout life we create and drop habits all the time βš–

Some without even knowing! πŸ‘€

Which is why it's important to fully understand them 🧠
