COT:
“First we make our habits, then our habits make us.” — John Dryden

All habits, good or bad, come down to three things:

– Cue – the situation that triggers the habit
– Action – what you habitually do
– Reward – what you get (could be positive, could be neurtral like just numbing out, could even be something negative like self-righteous outrage)

If you look closely at any habit you want to change, you’ll find this loop. Don’t break bad habits: replace them.

For example, I used to get home from work (exhausted), collapse on my bed, and doom scroll.

Now:
– I get home
– I sit down with my guitar and tune it
– Once it’s tuned (not before!), I take a sip of an NA beer (ahhh) – Next thing I know, I’m playing, and in a better mood for the whole evening

Do this consciously for two weeks, and it starts to stick.
