Forming a new habit is not easy, but we know that creating a new habit or breaking a bad one is crucial if we want to improve ourselves. If you're going to create a new habit in your life successfully, then you need to understand how habits are formed. According to Charles Duhigg, a Pulitzer-prize-winning reporter, the creation of habits involves three components, a cue, a routine, and a reward. 

Most of us are living with at least one bad habit, although we don't like to admit it.
