The reason it's hard to break a bad habit is because it's not a decision anymore.

It's a loop.

But when you understand the loop, breaking bad habits becomes easy.

And in this video, I'm going to explain to you the neuroscience behind the loop

that keeps you stuck in your bad habits and teach you the exact process to interrupt this loop at every single stage.

Now, I actually studied drug addiction when I was in my PhD.

It was my research focus.

So bad habits, habit formation, and living in cycles is sort of my specialty.

I also used to be addicted to nicotine myself

and I used the exact process that I'm about to share with you to finally quit.

The last step of this process will be the step that seals the deal for you and interrupts the loop forever.

So definitely stay until that step.

But first, let's talk about the loop that keeps you stuck in your bad habits.

Every single habit that you have once started out as a goal-directed behavior.

When you first started going on social media, you didn't go on there because it was a habit.

It wasn't automatic.

You went on there for a purpose.

You had some sort of goal.

You wanted to interact with your friends or post something, share something, etc. But now, every time you open up your phone, all of a sudden you're on social media and you don't even know how you got there.

Your thumb clicked on it and you don't even know how you ended up on social media.

You just ended up there.

And that's because it's not a choice anymore.

The behavior has become automated.

And so when the behavior that used to be a goal-directed behavior becomes automated, that is when it is stored in this habit loop.

What does the loop look like?

There are four stages of the habit loop.

The first is a cue or stimulus.

The second step of the loop is a craving or motivation.

The third step is your response to that craving or motivation.

And then the fourth step of the loop is reward.

So what does that look like in practice?

Well, let's use the phone example.

Okay.

So with the habit loop, the first step is the cue or stimulus.

So with your phone, it would be your phone or maybe seeing the social media app.

The second step of the habit loop is craving or motivation.

So when your brain sees your phone, it motivates you to open up social media or scroll or binge watch something.

And this happens because when something becomes a habit, dopamine actually becomes tied to the stimulus itself and not even necessarily to the behavior.

So at first we got dopamine from going on social media.

We got dopamine from sharing, from posting, but now you're getting dopamine from just looking at your phone.

And that dopamine doesn't, it's not just reward.

Dopamine is really important for anticipation of a reward for craving.

Like that's really what dopamine is representing here is that craving

that is driving you to pick up your phone and scroll on social media.

And then step three of this loop again is your response.

So the response has been automated.

You get the trigger, which is the phone.

You get the craving to go on social media.

And then your response would be that you're going to pick up and scroll on your phone.

And then the last step is reward.

You get a reward from scrolling.

So you get that cheap dopamine hit from scrolling on social media, from the colors, from the social part of it.

You get dopamine, which is rewarding.

And that reward, that rewarding feeling actually drives this loop to be even further cemented in your brain because reward drives learning.

When you are trying to teach your dog to sit, your dog doesn't learn to sit for free.

You have to give your dog a treat and that drives learning

and i want to also use my example from my life of quitting nicotine

because i know probably so many people can relate to that

and it's sort of just like a different angle of this loop

but i used everything truly

that i'm about to share with you to interrupt this loop on myself

and so to describe how nicotine or vaping would be in this loop the cue

or the stimulus or the trigger it might look like many different things

so it might be seeing the vape but but it also might be at a party.

It also might be drinking or smoking weed or taking Adderall.

For me, in the past, those were all triggers.

Those were all things that triggered me to want to vape because anytime I was stressed or anxious, that made me want to vape, right?

So those were triggers.

And then the craving hit, right?

That's step two of the loop.

The response is step three, which would be me hitting the vape.

And then the reward would be the rewarding feeling that I got, which in the beginning of vaping, the reward was the buzz that I got from the nicotine.

But toward the end, it didn't even really feel good anymore.

It was more of the relief, which is actually negative reinforcement.

It's removing the negative feeling, which is rewarding, right?

So I'm anxious or stressed and craving is actually just more stressful and I'm hitting it to relieve the craving, which is rewarding.

So a big reason why many people struggle to break bad habits is

that they are actually trying to attack the behavior without attacking the loop.

And the loop is what we want to interrupt, not necessarily the behavior, although we will change the behavior.

Let's dive straight into how to do this.

So when we think of interrupting the loop, we can interrupt every single stage of this loop.

It's really, really powerful.

So let's start with step one, which is the cue, right?

The stimulus or the trigger.

The first step really is to identify what triggers you to do the bad habit in the first place, because when you become aware of your triggers,

now you can either avoid them or remove them from your environment or at least make them less visible, all right?

So this is where you actually make the bad habit harder to perform.

For me, when I was trying to quit vaping, what I would do was I would actually, like when I would be driving in the car because

that was a trigger for me because my car was an environment that was associated with vaping.

So when I would be driving in the car, I would put my vape like under the passenger seat Because I knew that if I didn't have it at all,

that stress would lead to craving, which was a trigger.

So I would still bring it with me places, but I would hide it underneath like the passenger seat of my car, right?

So it wasn't readily or easily available to me.

And if I was out in public, I would put it like in the bottom of my bag, a bunch of different things.

I would essentially make it harder to get to and I would make it less visible to me.

So for you, if it's social media, maybe that means deleting the app.

Maybe it means sleeping with your phone outside of your room so you're not scrolling first thing in the morning.

Maybe that means turning your notifications off or going on Do Not Disturb or when you're working, putting your phone in a completely different room.

If you are trying to eat healthier or avoid eating sweets, maybe that means don't buy them in the first place

100

or keep them locked up or put it on a super high shelf out of reach.

101

And the reason why this is so important is because it creates a pause.

102

Remember the habit loop.

103

You have a stimulus or a trigger or a cue and that automatically leads to craving or motivation, which leads to your response.

104

When you are in a habit loop, all of this is happening automatically.

105

Like we don't get to think.

106

It's not a decision.

107

It is an automatic loop that the brain is playing

108

and it is so deeply ingrained that we don't get a choice in it.

109

And that's why it's so hard.

110

But if you can put this thing out of reach, if you can make it harder to do, what happens is you interrupt this and you create a pause.

111

So if I'm driving in a car and I get triggered, which triggers that craving, my automatic response would be debate.

112

But because it's underneath the chair next to me, I can't automatically respond, which creates a pause.

113

And in that pause, I can choose differently.

114

And that is how you can begin to take your power back

115

and be mindful over these automatic behaviors and habit loops that run our lives.

116

So just building enough space, really widening the gap between getting triggered and your automatic response.

117

The wider the gap, the more time you have to respond as the version of yourself

118

that you want to be versus responding in the same old ways that you've always responded before.

119

So again, that pause is what allows you to choose differently.

120

And that is where the rewiring begins.

121

So that's the first step is to change the cue or remove it altogether.

122

If that floats your boat.

123

I know some people want to just cut it cold turkey, remove it from their environment, do that.

124

If you want to do that, go for it.

125

But I will actually explain to you in a second why

126

that might not be the best choice and why there might be a better one.

127

So the next part of the loop that we can readily rewire and change is the response.

128

Because if we're being honest, we might not always be able to eliminate the triggers, right?

129

Like for me, if driving in the car was a trigger, I can't just eliminate that trigger.

130

Like I have to drive in the car.

131

If stress is a trigger, yeah, we can do our best to eliminate stress and try to regulate ourselves, but it's not always avoidable.

132

We can do our best to avoid being tired because when you're tired, your prefrontal cortex is less active and you have less ability to regulate your impulses, right?

133

Like we can do our best to avoid our triggers, but we might not always be able to avoid our triggers.

134

And this is where this next step comes in, which is where you can change the automatic response.

135

So this is where you have to decide beforehand what you want your new habit to be.

136

The loop already exists in your brain.

137

The trigger is already triggering your brain.

138

So while we can't necessarily erase neural pathways in our brain like they do in Men in Black,

139

we can replace the bad habit with a new behavior.

140

So in the first step, you need to get clear on what your triggers were.

141

In this step it is, okay, what am I going to do when I am triggered?

142

What am I going to do instead?

143

Now, for me, with vaping, something that I decided to do was I was going to take a deep breath.

144

Every time I get triggered, I'm going to take a deep breath.

145

Or, you know, because vaping can be like a mouth fixation thing, I would take a drink of water, like drink through my straw,

146

or I would literally pretend to like breathe in air.

147

But something I noticed also, though, was a lot of the time when I was craving, what I really did need was a deep breath.

148

Like taking a deep breath feels really good.

149

Like go ahead and take one out.

150

Like take that deep breath, feel the oxygen expanding your lungs, it feels incredible.

151

Now you might also choose to text a friend, right?

152

Use social comfort, social reinforcement.

153

Whatever it is, get clear on what your triggers are

154

and decide on a new habit that you are going to replace the bad habit with.

155

In the morning, if you scroll every morning, maybe you want to journal instead

156

Or maybe something that I actually used to like to do is I had an affirmation app that I would scroll instead.

157

So I would open up my phone and, you know, that was already a trigger for me.

158

So rather than just completely removing the phone, I would open up my affirmations app and I would just scroll affirmations.

159

And that was a great way to start my day.

160

Maybe if you are trying to eat healthier and cut out the sweets, you want to replace it with like an electrolyte drink

161

or something that still gives you that little sweet treat feeling that treating yourself feeling, but doesn't actually contain all the sugar.

162

And what you're doing here is you are essentially training your brain to associate the trigger

163

or the cue with a new behavior.

164

And over time, your brain will actually start to tie that trigger with the new behavior.

165

So right now you're automatically getting triggered and you're doing a bad habit.

166

But over time, if you see the phone, you might automatically just pick up and scroll affirmations instead, or you might just take that deep breath instead.

167

That's kind of what happened to me over time.

168

Like over time, my brain learned, okay, in response to being triggered, we take a deep breath.

169

And that was really helpful for me.

170

So we've talked about changing the cue and we've talked about changing your response to it.

171

Now let's talk about the next step in the loop, which is the reward.

172

Your brain keeps repeating the same bad habit because something about it feels rewarding.

173

Even if the reward is just, thank God, the craving stopped, that's negative reinforcement.

174

The removal of a bad feeling is rewarding.

175

So stop letting your brain romanticize this bad habit.

176

Your brain is still believing this is good for you for some reason.

177

So stop letting your brain romanticize this bad habit and let it experience the full breath of the outcome that it implicates.

178

How do you do this?

179

Let's be so honest, right?

180

Because I would put the vape under the passenger seat.

181

I would take the deep breath.

182

And sometimes I'd still eat the vape, right?

183

Like I was addicted to nicotine, okay?

184

Like this wasn't just a bad habit.

185

I was addicted to it.

186

And so sometimes I would still give in to the craving and I would hit it.

187

You know what I would do then?

188

I would sit in the disgust of what it felt like rather than allowing my brain to learn that, oh yeah, this is rewarding because we don't crave anymore.

189

Thank God we can relax.

190

We can sit back.

191

Like this is no longer stressing us out.

192

The craving is gone.

193

Rather than letting that happen.

194

No, no. I would sit and just feel how disgusting I felt.

195

And it's not about punishing yourself.

196

It's about training your brain to associate the habit with what it really feels like, with the negative outcome that it really leads to.

197

So if you're scrolling for an hour or more and you don't want to do that anymore, sit with yourself after you finish that.

198

And rather than just moving on, no, sit and notice how scattered you feel.

199

When you scroll first thing in the morning, notice how the rest of the day you are less clear.

200

you're less productive.

201

You are more scattered.

202

You are craving checking social media even more because you primed your brain with it first thing in the morning.

203

When you give in and you eat a whole bunch of junk food when you're trying to eat healthy, notice how that feels afterward and sit with it.

204

Focus on the negative feeling.

205

Now, this is powerful because your brain learns from what you repeatedly pair together.

206

So if your habit is repeatedly paired with relief or reward, then okay, hell yeah your brain's gonna be like let's keep doing this let's keep motivating us to do it

207

but when you repeatedly pair with

208

that feels terrible i don't like how this feels i'm not being the version of me

209

that i really want to be now your brain is learning

210

a new outcome this was super helpful in my journey

211

because over time i realized that

212

when i would experience a craving my immediate response started to change like a me like

213

when i would when i would crave it my thought that would popping in my head would be, no, you don't want that.

214

That makes you feel gross.

215

Over time, that is literally the response that my brain started to have, which was really helpful for when I finally fully quit and threw it away.

216

Like I would be walking through my closet and experience a craving randomly.

217

And my immediate thought was, oh no, like you don't want that.

218

That's gross.

219

That's powerful.

220

And that allows you to actually stay strong when you do continue to crave.

221

And that might be more powerful for my people that are trying to quit nicotine or whatever it is, but it can be helpful for any bad habit.

222

Now, I want to be real with you for a second because I knew all of this.

223

Like I studied drug addiction.

224

I was in the lab studying relapse to drug addiction and I quit nicotine for six months and then I still relapsed.

225

And there is one more step that I want to give to you

226

because this was the step that actually sealed the deal for me and made it real and made it permanent.

227

And I have found that this is what has made it permanent for

228

so many of the students and people that I coach.

229

So many of the people that I coach have actually been able to overcome addiction themselves through this process,

230

including the step that I'm about to give you.

231

Because this step really was what made it permanent for me.

232

And it is to change who you think you are.

233

Change the story that you've been telling about yourself.

234

Your brain holds a model of who you are based on your past

235

and your memories, your experiences and it uses that model to predict your future, to predict your behavior and your thoughts and your choices.

236

They've actually found that the neural correlates of a decision, the neural activity

237

that represents a choice can be seen in the brain before we are even consciously aware that we made a choice.

238

Meaning that this model, a lot of the time, is choosing for us.

239

And I'm sure you've experienced this with your bad habits.

240

You're like, I wish I wasn't choosing this, but I am.

241

You have to change the model.

242

You have to update the story of who you are.

243

Because as long as you continue to tell the same story, you will continue to live the same story.

244

I had a student once who was really struggling and living in this cycle.

245

He came to me and he was like, I'm doing really well and I'll stop.

246

And then I keep falling back to this old pattern and I just keep falling back to this old pattern.

247

He was beating himself up about it.

248

And you know what I said to him?

249

Well, I said, first, give yourself grace.

250

And second, I said, stop telling that story

251

but you're right here right now reinforcing to me

252

that you always do this you always fall back into these old patterns well yeah as long as you tell

253

that story that's going to be the story

254

that you're living i was on the phone with a friend once

255

and he told me

256

that he was two weeks sober from the nicotine pouches i said hell yeah congratulations i'm

257

so excited for you

258

and you know what he said to me he said yeah it's all right

259

but i'm always going to be a nicotine user like that's

260

just always going to be who i am like i'm a

261

pouch guy that's what he said i said stop calling yourself a pouch guy

262

because as long as that's your identity as long as that's

263

who you are your brain is going to make sure

264

that you act in alignment with that

265

and then you're going to wonder why you keep falling off it's

266

because you haven't shifted your identity it doesn't matter

267

if it sounds delusional my student that i coach he was like okay cool yeah

268

and one two weeks later he came back to me

269

and he came on the call and he said i have not gone back to

270

that old bat habit since we talked he said i went up to my friend

271

and i told him yeah that's just not who i am anymore He said, my friend laughed at me, but I didn't care because I was serious about it.

272

And he hadn't fallen off.

273

He had not fallen off.

274

And now he's just living his best life, not repeating those old cycles.

275

This is how you solidify it.

276

And that's not to say that the previous steps

277

that I shared with you in this video are not extremely important and helpful.

278

They are.

279

And they absolutely come in handy when you are experiencing craving, when you're experiencing stress, okay?

280

They, all of these steps matter.

281

but shifting your identity to match the version of you that you want to be, to writing the new story about the life that you want to live, that will help you to seal the deal.

282

If you want to dive deep into the neuroscience of manifestation

283

and understand the neuroscience behind the different components of your subconscious mind

284

so that you can actually learn what is driving your behaviors, thoughts, and choices, and learn real neuroscience-backed tools to reprogram these different parts of the subconscious,

285

then check the link in the description to save your seat

290

이 비디오로 스피킹 연습을 하는 이유

일상에서 자주 쓰는 실용적인 표현과 논리적인 이야기 구조가 담긴 이 비디오는 영어 쉐도잉 연습에 최적입니다. 특히 습관 형성과 관련된 과학적 내용을 설명하는 데 사용된 단어와 문장은 IELTS 스피킹에서도 자주 요구되는 분석적 표현을 익히기에 좋습니다. 쉐도잉(shadow speak)을 하다 보면 자연스럽게 목소리의 리듬과 강세를 따라할 수 있고, 복잡한 개념을 명확히 전달하는 방법도 배울 수 있습니다. 실제로 연구자와 개인 경험을 공유하는 화자의 말투는 친근하면서도 전문적이어서, 일상 대화뿐만 아니라 공식적인 발표에서도 쓸 수 있는 표현을 익힐 수 있습니다.

문맥 속 문법과 표현

"The reason it's hard to break a bad habit is because...": "이유는 ~때문이다"라는 구조를 자연스럽게 표현할 때 사용하는 패턴입니다. IELTS 스피킹에서 원인 분석을 할 때 자주 쓰일 수 있습니다. 예를 들어 "The reason I like reading is because it helps me relax"처럼 활용할 수 있습니다.
"When you first started going on social media, you didn't go on there because it was a habit": 과거 시작점을 설명할 때 사용하는 "when you first started ~" 구조입니다. 일상에서 경험을 공유할 때 유용하며, 쉐도잉을 통해 과거 시제의 사용법을 익힐 수 있습니다.
"that is when it is stored in this habit loop": "바로 그 때가 ~하는 때다"라는 강조 구조입니다. 복잡한 내용을 정리할 때 사용하면 논리가 더 명확해집니다. 예를 들어 "that is when I realized the importance of practice"처럼 사용할 수 있습니다.

발음의 함정

이 비디오에서 주의해야 할 발음이 몇 가지 있습니다. 먼저 "neuroscience"는 "뉴로사이언스"가 아니라 [nʊəroʊsaɪəns]로 발음해야 하며, 특히 "eu" 부분이 약하게 발음됩니다. "dopamine"은 [doʊpəmiːn]으로, "도파민"이라고 읽는 경우가 많지만 정확한 발음은 "도파미인"에 가깝습니다. 또한 "automated"는 [ɔːtəmeɪtɪd]로, "오토메이티드"가 아니라 "오터메이티드"로 발음해야 합니다. 영어 발음 교정을 위해 이 단어들을 반복해서 연습하고, 쉐도잉을 통해 화자의 발음을 정확히 따라하는 것이 중요합니다. 이렇게 발음 문제를 해결하면 IELTS 스피킹에서 명료성 점수를 높일 수 있습니다.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
