Why is identifying the trigger and consequence of a habit useful in self-management?

Correct answer: To understand the habit cycle and make an appropriate change

A habit often follows a pattern in which a trigger starts a behaviour and the consequence reinforces or maintains it. Recognising this pattern helps the student choose a practical intervention, such as changing the environment, replacing the behaviour or altering the immediate reward. The purpose is not merely to criticise the habit or control other people. Therefore, B gives the correct reason.
