  • Are you FAILING to ADOPT a GOOD HABIT?Learn how to TRIGGER the HABIT LOOP..

    Adopted from the following great insight shared by Charles Duhigg from the book The Power of Habit

    Habits develop in a region of limbic brain named “basal ganglia”.

    The habit loop consists of three components.

    1)Cue – The trigger based on which brain decides whether to consider sequence of actions as habits.

    2)Routine – Repetitive sequence of mental , emotional , physical activities that form a repetitive routine.

    3)Reward – The reward that is expected out of automating the loop whether good or bad .

    It is the ability of the brain to continuously automate repetitive patterns as habits to reduce size of brain and increase efficiency of the brain.
