876 - Decoding your bad habits
Tik Tok | Instagram | YouTube In today's episode, I explore the intriguing "Trigger > Thought > Action > Consequence" model that governs our daily decisions and actions. I introduce this process, illustrating its components with familiar examples like snacking habits, reactions to alarms, and social media usage. I delve into each element of the model, beginning with 'Triggers,' which can be external events or internal feelings. Next, I discuss 'Thoughts,' shaped by individual backgrounds including beliefs, perceptions, and experiences. 'Actions' follow, ranging from conscious to semi-conscious, and finally 'Consequences,' the outcomes of our actions, which can be immediate or delayed, positive or negative. I then explore the intricate relationships between these components and the impact of external factors like socio-cultural norms, environmental conditions, interpersonal relationships, and biological aspects. I conclude by addressing the challenges in managing this process, like the complexities of thought processes, the unpredictability of external factors, and the difficulty of changing ingrained habits. Don't miss the next episode, where I'll provide a strategy for effectively navigating this process.
