Cues are things that remind us to do things. For example, seeing lots of lovely fruit in your bowl will remind you to eat it, seeing your running shoes in your wardrobe will make you think ‘I need to go for a run’. Without the fruit in the bowl or running shoes, we are very unlikely to hit our target of fruit and veg consumption or exercise activity. When you get your cup out in the morning for that first caffeine hit of the day, pull a glass out of the cupboard and fill it with water and take both vessels back to your desk. Put tea bags and the fruit bowl near each other so that while you’re waiting for the kettle to boil, you can use the minute to cut up a piece of fruit for a tea + snack session. Put vegetables and fruit both visible in the fridge, so when you are reaching for one for dinner, you can pull out the other for your dessert. seeing lots of lovely fruit in your bowl will remind you to eat it. seeing your running shoes in your wardrobe will make you think ‘I need to go for a run’. When you get your cup out in the morning for that first caffeine hit of the day, is a cue.
