Conventional circulation is a neural pattern that controls every habit. It consists of three elements: prompt, routine, and reward. Understanding these elements will help you understand how to change bad habits and how to form good habits. The habit loop always starts with a hint and the trigger automatically moves your brain into a mode to determine the usage habits. The habit's center is a spiritual, emotional or physical routine. Finally, there is a reward that can help your brain judge whether this loop is worth remembering in the future. In the New York Times article, Dusig noted "This type of proposal and reward are neurologically intertwined until there is hunger." It is important to get used to or break down old habits. Duhigg explains how Procter & Gamble uses customary research cycles and its relationship with the desire to explore the Febreze market, which is a product that can eliminate odor and produce fortune .

The golden rule of change of custom helps to discourage habit habits and replace them with new habits. If you keep the first advice, change the routine, and keep your rewards, people who do not believe what they are doing will eventually not change, and you may not give up. You can build it in various ways including group setting, but faith is an important element of this change. People who participate in groups like accountability teams tend to be better than those who act alone. Charles Douggg explained using some examples to explain his argument. A person drinking anonymous wine. By understanding the habits, the golden rule of customs and the important role of faith, he was able to lay the foundation for transforming thousands of alcohol dependents.

An important habit is that individual models mistakenly cause other customs in people's lives. Duhigg writes about Alcoa and Paul H. O'Neill, a new CEO, have increased the company's market capitalization by $ 27 billion, targeting the security of the work environment. O'Neal said, "I know that I must change Alcoa ... ... I can not command you to change to people, it's not how the brain works, it will spread throughout the company." [8]

"Stone" is a stone at the center of the arch and summarizes the remaining structure. Without the corner stone, everything will collapse. In the book, the author Charles Duhigg explains that "the main habit" brought about the development of many good habits. They bring a knock-on effect to your life and produce many good results. This is a big problem as we humans are shaped by something outside us. We are pleased to believe that we are experts in fate. But our situation and environment is much stronger. As Dr. Mashall Goldsmith stated, "Unless we create and control our environment, our environment will create and control us."

Charles Duhigg interrupted his words as "the power of customs," and all customs consisted of three parts: the tip, the activity and the reward. Duhigg says that the easiest way to create a healthy habit is to put in the existing formula the necessary health activities for unhealthy habits. In other words, we need to change the middle with already established triggers and rewards. Just like changing cars on the train, we maintained the engine, we kept the car, and we built the railroad tracks.

In the book, the author Charles Dusig created the word "keystone habit". Basically these habits can turn over and improve other aspects of our lives. For example, if you exercise in the morning, you will become clearer and the healthy dietary decision will advance in the day. I grew up with stuttering, and when I was drinking I did not become stuttering. Somewhere, when I drink, people finally meet real me, are confident and confident that they are full of ideas. Unfortunately it took me almost 20 years to realize I avoided myself.
