What are Habits?
A cue is a trigger, or reminder, something that
triggers our thought or behavior. Like the cue line
in a play, (the line before you come in) which on
hearing it reminds you to say your line, or triggers
you to deliver your line.
Habits are the things we do repeatedly - often
subconsciously, but also and maybe as
importantly, they are the way we think and
what we believe. They include the self-beliefs
that influence what we do, our behavior and
the actions we take.

Hebrews 5:14
6 These are the commands, decrees and laws the Lord your God directed me to teach you to observe
in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess, 2 so that you, your children and their children
after them may fear the Lord your God as long as you live by keeping all his decrees and
commands that I give you, and so that you may enjoy long life. 3 Hear, Israel, and be careful to obey so
that it may go well with you and that you may increase greatly in a land flowing with milk and
honey, just as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, promised you.
4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.[a] 5 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and
with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be on
your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you
walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands
and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.
