Reroute unwanted behavioral patterns by maintaining the original trigger and reward while substituting a preferred routine.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Habits as Context-Response Associations (habits form through context-response-reward), When a habit forms, neural activity spikes at the cue… (neural activity spikes at cue and reward, drops during routine), and Neural pathways that encode habits persist even after… (habit pathways persist—can be suppressed or replaced, not deleted). This prescribes a specific strategy for behavior change following from axioms about habit structure.
