First, there is the cue. The cue triggers your brain to initiate a behavior.Cravings are the second step, and they are the motivational force behind every habit.The third step is the response. The response is the actual habit you perform, which can take the form of a thought or an action.The craving is about wanting the reward. The response is about obtaining the reward.
