Quitting Cues

To build positive habits and overcome temptation, combine practical and spiritual reminders. Use visual cues like physical objects, sticky notes, and phone alarms, alongside private codes to track your progress and trigger prayers, making a daily, obsessive commitment to personal change.

Key Habits for Success

• Physical Cues: Place an object at the bottom of your bed as a physical reminder for your daily goals.
• Temptation Blockers: Place sticky notes or masking tape directly on devices that tempt you. Use private codes to stay focused, such as PT (Pure thoughts), TFT (Turn from temptation), or RFS (Run from sin).
• Behavior Triggers: Place visual reminders exactly where you want a new habit to happen (e.g., a note on your computer for morning, or evening Bible study).
• Digital Reminders: Keep a document listing your habits on your device screen, and use your device wallpaper to show the activity you are trying to build.
• Code Words: Create a code page in your notebook—such as R to pray, V to recite your fighting verse, or A to attempt alternative activities.
• Daily Routines: Wear a rubber band everywhere and pray when you notice it, or pray a specific scripture when brushing your teeth.
• Spiritual Anchor: Meditate on James 4:7 ESV: "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Finally, use as many practical things and as many spiritual things as you can to change. Be obsessed with change. That is the key to changing.
