How Habits Actually Work

Most of what you do each day…
you don’t decide to do.
You just do it. Automatically.

That’s a habit loop.

It works like this:
Cue → Routine → Reward.

Something triggers you…
you react…
and your brain gives you a little “reward” to lock it in.

Feel bored? Scroll.
Feel stressed? Snack.
Feel stuck? Escape.

Same loop, different costume.

But here’s the trick —
you don’t need to fight the cue or the reward.
You just swap the routine.

Same trigger. Same craving.
Better action.

That’s how change starts.

And some habits?
They’re keystone habits.
Change one — and others fall in line.

Work out more?
You sleep better. Eat better. Think clearer.

Change one loop —
and you start building a life that runs on your terms.

You’re not stuck.
You’re just trained.
Time to retrain.
