The Habit Loop In his book The Power of Habit (2012), Duhiggs explains “this process within our brain is a three-step loop” (p. 19). That is, the three essential components that make up this ‘habit loop’ are as follows: a cue, a routine, and a reward. Beginning with the first step, a cue is a trigger that overrides the brain to enter an automatic and involuntary mode, before determining which habit to carry out. In this case, an alarm clock going off would be the cue. Clearly, the blaring alarm…

Loops of pool noodles swirling around electrical wires in a swimming pool. Anxiety has been surrounding me for as long as I can remember. When I'm having a panic attack, 100 Kilowatts (that's 83334 potato batteries) are all firing through the water as the noodles pulse and burst under the stress, an array of neon foams shaking in unhappy waters. When I am having one of these panic attacks, there is only so much I can process of my outside world; I am stripped of the capacity to take in what's…

Nostalgia by definition is a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, normally associated with a point in time in which one felt this abstract notion of what it means to be happy. In creating this song, this is a word that often came to mind and I think that’s due to a sort of nostalgia I felt in creating a song out of pure enjoyment and raw feeling, an element I feel is missing in the mass production and commodification of contemporary music. I don’t find fault in the electric…

However the track of the roller coaster keeps the car and therefore the rider, from travelling in a straight path. The force of a rider's acceleration pushes them from…
