#27: How to kick a bad habit by paying attention to cues.

When you go to the movie theater, is it a given that you buy popcorn? What about on your morning commute: do you pass a doughnut shop and pop in for a coffee and a few glazed holes?

How often do you pause to think about whether you really, actually want these things, or whether you’re indulging in them simply because they are there? 

Hey, there’s no shaming going on here! Rather, I want you to become more aware of the *cues* in your life. 

As a doctor of physical therapy, I use verbal and physical cues all the time and I’m always impressed by how powerful they are! So many things can be cues -- places, objects, and even  people -- that it’s important to take a step back and recognize what they are and the effect they can have, especially when they trigger cravings.

But it’s important to evolve to the point where we identify the subtle cues that we follow without considering whether we actually want what is being offered. This episode takes a look at this topic, and could very well help you unhook from a few cues in your life!
