Building habits
Habit building is the process of repeating a behavior in a stable context until it becomes more automatic.
Definition
A habit is developed by associating a stimulus or context with a response. The more stable the signal and the simpler the behavior, the easier it is to automate. Research shows that the pace of habit building is variable: it depends on the person, behavior, context and regularity. That's why small behaviors embedded in a specific daily rhythm are more effective than big resolutions.
