The structure of a habit is made up of four steps across two stages:
- Problem Stage
- Cue: The specific stimuli set to trigger the behavior.
- Craving: The need or desire emerging in response to the cue.
- Solution Stage 3. Response: The behavior performed to satisfy craving. 4. Reward: The immediate positive or negative feedback resulting from the response to the craving.
