Blind to Your Cues

Most people can't name their triggers. They say "I just found myself snacking" or "I don't know why I grabbed my phone." But there's always a cue — you just didn't see it fire.

Here's the useful part: simply noticing the cue starts to loosen its grip, even before you try to change anything. Awareness drags the behavior out of autopilot and back into the realm of choice. You can't intercept a habit you never see coming.
