The Habit Loop

The Habit Loop

Each habit can be deconstructed in these 4 steps:

  1. The cue (smell of coffee) triggers a craving (I want coffee)
  2. which motivates a response (Buy coffee)
  3. which provides a reward (I feel good and energetic)
  4. which satisfies the craving and, ultimately, becomes associated with the cue.

Together, these four steps form a neurological feedback loop—cue, craving, response, reward; cue, craving, response, reward—that ultimately allows you to create automatic habits.
