Habit

A habit is a repetitive way of acting that becomes part of everyday life and often requires a less conscious decision.

Definition

A custom may be individual or social. Unlike a single decision, it is based on repetition and context. It can support life if it organizes action, or perpetuate a problem if it automates avoidance, excess stimuli or overload. Changing a habit requires working with stimulus, reaction and consequence.

Practice and life

Choose one habit and write down where it begins: a place, a time, an emotion, a person, or a previous action. This is the entry point to change.

Common misunderstanding

It is a mistake to regard custom as immutable. It is also a mistake to try to change it without changing the context.
