First, there is a cue, a trigger that tells your brain to go into automatic mode (模式) and which habit to use. Then there is the routine, which can be physical or mental or emotional. Finally, there is a reward, which helps your brain figure out if this particular loop is worth remembering for the future. Over time, this loop — cues, routines, rewards — becomes more and more automatic. The cue and reward become intertwined (交织) until a powerful sense of anticipation and a desire appear. Eventually, a habit is born. Habits arent destiny. Habits can be ignored, changed, or replaced. But the reason the discovery of the habit loop is so important is that it reveals a basic truth: When a habit appears, the brain stops fully participating in decision-making. It stops working so hard, or shifts focus to other tasks. So unless you deliberately fight a habit — unless you find new routines — the pattern will unfold automatically. Habits never really disappear. Theyre encoded (把……编码) into the structures of our brain, and thats a huge advantage for us, because it would be awful if we had to relearn how to drive after every vacation. The problem is that your brain cant tell the difference between bad and good habits, and so if you have a bad one, its always lurking (蛰伏) there, waiting for the right cues and rewards. This explains why its so hard to create exercise habits, for instance, or change what we eat. Once we develop a routine of sitting on the sofa, rather than running, or snacking whenever we pass a doughnut box, those patterns always remain inside our heads. By the same rule, though, if we learn to create new neurological (神经系统的) routines that overpower those behaviors — if we take control of the habit loop — we can force those bad tendencies into the background. And once someone creates a new pattern, studies ha
