Somatic Habit Cue
A somatic habit cue uses body signals—tight shoulders, shallow breath, eye strain—to trigger a mapped action like mobility, water, or a protein snack before mood crashes. Body cues arrive earlier than calendar alarms if you practice noticing.

Pair one sensation with one response to avoid overwhelm.
Common questions
-
What is an example of a somatic cue?
When jaw clenches, stand and walk three minutes. When eyes dry, drink water and look outside. Link sensation to one small action.
-
Do somatic cues work for eating habits?
Yes. Notice stomach hunger versus stress hunger—shoulder tension plus urge to snack can trigger protein and pause instead of vending loops.
