Habits: Part I 

Creating Healthy Habits

The Habit Loop:

To form a habit, we need to have a cue, a response (routine), and a reward.  A good habit should be one you are motivated to do, you have ability to do it, and uses a prompt that stands out. A simple habit can take a couple of weeks before it feels automatic, but the more complex a behavior the more motivation and time you need to be able to make it feel automatic.
