>...habits are, simply, reliable solutions to recurring problems in our environment. - Jason Hreha [1]
>Whenever you face a problem repeatedly, your brain begins to automate the process of solving it. Your habits are just a series of automatic solutions that solve the problems and stressed you face regularly. - James Clear [1]
The point that was interesting about habits, to me, is that they are unconscious. So this means that you don't necessarily know that you even have them. And they guide a large part of your life. So, if you are not in a spot in life where you want to be, look at your habits... it takes some effort because they are unconscious... but then you can work on changing them.
The unconscious part is important too, though, in a good way. They are programs running in the background that allow you direct your attention to new things that you don't encounter often. Kind of cool when you think that humans have a way to auto-program an auto-pilot for things they encounter often, so that the brain can be better prepared for new things.
