Cues-to-Action:

A Cue-to-Action is anything that can interrupt the automaticity of one's habitual patterns thus providing the opportunity for more conscious choice. It is very easy to lose sight of your Spiritual path during the course of daily activities. Therefore, in the 3-S program, you will select and use cues-to-action to help you stay on track. These cues should involve all your senses. Examples include -- sight (placing notes to yourself in conspicuous places); sound (bells, chimes, beepers); smell (the fragrance of specific flowers or herbs); taste (the flavor of specific foods); touch (the feel of specific textures). The experience of unpleasant physical sensations and emotions (e.g., anger, resentment) are also cues-to-action; they are components of your early warning system that alerts you to the need for action when you are in danger of losing sight of your Path.
