Habit Cues for Wellness | List of Cues |
Habit cues are triggers that begin a routine in your life that has become a habit. The most common type of cues are:
- The time of day - a specific time of day triggers a routine / habit.
- Location - Being in a location begins a routine / habit.
- Emotional State - Certain feelings can trigger a habit. High stress, boredom, being overwhelmed, anticipation can trigger a habit.
- People - A specific person can trigger a habit.
- Hunger signal - The feeling of hunger can trigger a habit.
- Thoughts and Beliefs - A specific thought can trigger a habit.
For wellness detoxes, clients must look at each habit and figure out the cues that trigger their behaviour. Once the cue is figured out, a new habit may be added to the cue.
The easiest way to figure out the cues are to keep track of your day in a journal and focus on the Cue - Habit - Reward of each of your day's activities.
