Habits Are . . . What?

Habits are . . . Chosen.
Habits are done seemingly without thinking.
Habits, even deeply rooted habits, can be changed.
Habits are chosen. We need to know this. Habits do not come by chance. Something always leads up to them. When you suddenly realize that you are repeating an action, acknowledge to yourself that you are, then decide at that moment if you want to continue doing it or not. Because if you decide to continue doing it, in that very instance, the habit starts.
Once you've developed a habit, it is done seemingly without thinking. When an action is repeated, a neural path is fired inside your brain. Enough paths fired and wa-la! You have a groove. You know what a groove is. Something that holds you on that path. After the groove is traveled enough times, no thought is required. Nope, you don't even have to think about it. Your mind just follows the path of least resistance. You have now developed a habit.
But guess what? Even deeply rooted habits can be changed.
How? By deciding on a productive habit you'd rather have in place of it. Develop it and let it crowd out the pattern of the old habit, this is called *taking charge of your life.* Repeat it until it becomes completely *grooved* in your mind in place of your old habit.
Thanks for reading.
