A neuroscientist just dropped a super simple breakdown on how to shake those bad habits we all deal with — and it’s way easier than you’d think.
First, try catching yourself right before you do the thing. Then swap it out with a tiny positive action. The real game‑changer is the “reward rewrite.” Instead of removing the reward, you replace it. After the new behaviour, give your brain something meaningful — a deep breath, a quick “I did it,” even a hand on your chest.
Small moments, big impact.
