In the last post, we learned that you only need 3 things for a behaviour to become a habit:

• Reliable Prompt: something to cue your brain to activate the habit

• Repetition: without repetition, the brain will not lock in the Prompt (A) —> Behaviour (B) association for a behaviour to become a habit

• Reward: ensuring your brain has some kind of dopamine boost

If it only takes 3 things for a habit to form, then why do so many people fail at keeping up with their new year resolution to engage in some kind of habit?

Today’s post will focus on 3 factors, and the next post will focus on 3 additional factors.
