So, if you're { like _4 } me, you probably have { at least _8 } a few bad habits you would like to { break _5 }. But it's tough, because no matter { how hard _8 } I try, I seem to slip back into the { same old 8 } routines again and again. 
"In the last decades we've { learned _7 } a lot about how habits work." 
That's Charles Duhigg, author of { the _3 } book "The Power of Habit". 
"And in { particular _10 } we've learned the neurological structure of { a _1 } habit." 
He says we tend to think of a habits { as _2 } a single thing, but actually, "Each habit { has _3 } three components. There's a cue which is like a trigger for a { behavior _8 } to start. And then there is a routine { which _5 } is the behavior itself, and then finally a reward, which is how { our _3 } brain learns to encode that automatic behavior { for _3 } the future. And one of the big { differences _11 } is that for years, when people thought { about _5 } habits, they focused in on the routine, { on _2 } the behavior. But what we now know is that it's { these cues _10 } and these rewards that really { shape _5 } how habits occur and how to change them." 
And Charles says that { whether _7 } we like it or not, this kind of habit formation is endemic to our brain. 
"And what it will do is our brain { will _4 } latch on to a cue that it associates with a behavior { and _3 } a particular reward. And over time, that cue and that { reward _6 } become more and more and more sort of intertwined. The inner part of your brain, named the basal ganglia will relate them { together _8 }. And the behavior that is associated with { that _4 }, that will just { sort of _7 } happen automatically." 
But Charles says the good news is: We can also use this knowledge to our { advantage _9 }. 
"There was a big study that was done about how to create exercise habits. And so what they did is they told a group of people, “Okay, first of all choose an { obvious _7 } cue: always go running at the same time every day or put your workout clothes next to your bed so that you see them first thing when you wake up”. And then they said, “and then go for a run or go workout and when you get back from exercising, give { yourself _8 } a small piece of chocolate”. Now this is kind of counter-intuitive, { right _5 }? Because people who are exercising are trying to lose { weight _6 }, not eat more chocolate. And yet what the researchers { knew _4 } is that their brain needed that reward. Their basal ganglia needed some reward. But what they found was that people who { ate _3 } a small piece of chocolate after coming home from a run or a workout, they were { much more likely _16 } to start exercising habitually." 
So, according to Charles, whether you want to break a habit, { or _2 } start a new habit, the key is to divide that habit into its component parts: { cue _3 }, { routine _7 }, and { reward _6 }. And design it for the result that you want.
