_The Power of Habit_ helped me understand it isn't just catching yourself, but catching yourself in the right place. The book calls discusses keystone habits. ([0] has some digital overview a the beginning)

I think finding those keystone habits is difficult. GP figured it out, great!

If you haven't figured yours out, I recommend continuing to observe and try different reactions to triggers, thoughts, feelings, etc.
