19 August 2022
Habits are, simply, reliable solutions to recurring problems in our environment.
-James Clear
- This chapter tells you about how the habits are formed in the first place and also what is the actual way to control them
- It's not your habits will be changed after reading or you will get the way to do it but it's like a math's formula you got the concept and the way but until and unless you don't know how to apply it it's not gonna work for you
- In this chapter that concept is explained where it states that we first time face a problem find a probable solution to it and then every time we face that same problem we tend to apply same solution.
- Repetedly doing this creates a habbit in ourselves which he explains through a loop having -
- Cue - the situation which triggers the habit
- Craving - desire to perform the habit
- Response - the act of doing that habbit and
- The last, Reward - which at the first place you wanted for which you started that habit
- Habits are like a tool for our minds we can use them in a way that they can create us whatever we want or we dont pay attention to them so that they can create whatever we dont want
- The habits are good as they help to automate things, we dont have to think of the same problem, again and again, to solve it which frees up space in our brain to take up new challenges
- But on the other hand, some bad habits without our control over them keep on repeating, therefore, it's necessary to know how to create new habits and destroy the unwanted ones
- The way to do it is that 4 step approach cue craving response and reward
- The habbit you wanna create have that situation around you, make it attractive, make it easy and satisfying on the other hand if you want to destroy a habbit make it inaccesible, make it unattractive, make it difficult to do and unsatisfying
- These 4 steps will lead you to the habits you want and help you get rid of the ones you dont want!
