How to think your way into positive habits
“Habits result from repeated past experiences of executing a specific behavior in a particular situation,” says psychologist Torsten Martiny-Huenger from UiT The Arctic University of Norway. “An open question, however, is how novel behaviors become habits. We do not have the prior experiences that make them habitual. So, how are they formed?”
According to Martiny-Huenger, people usually take one of three approaches when executing an action intended for the future. Here’s an example: The first approach is to verbally repeat it to yourself continuously . However, given the many demands of our daily life, it is unlikely that we can remain focused in such a way for a prolonged amount of time.
The authors found evidence to suggest that the third possibility is the primary method through which memories are prompted and new habits are formed. Furthermore, they suggest this method can be used strategically by people to improve memory and habit formation.
