Triggercue

A trigger is the signal that sets a behavior in motion. It may be a time, a place, an emotion, or another person; it is the first link in the habit loop. A person often carries out a behavior without a conscious decision, merely at the prompting of a familiar signal. The coach helps the client notice the trigger of both the bad habit and the habit they desire. Seeing the trigger is the way to be able to manage the behavior from its very beginning.
