What Is A Habit?

 

According to Miriam-Webster Dictionary, a habit is a behaviour pattern that is acquired by frequent repetition or physiologic repetition exposure that shows itself in regularity or increased facility of performance.

In simple terms, a habit is an action that you do, most of the time subconsciously.

Habits are often learnt behaviours, which means that they can be changed or adapted.

 

How Do Good Habits Form?

 

Good habits are formed through routines.

Repeating the habit is how habits are formed.

There is a three step process to forming a good habit. The process is:-

1 – There is usually a trigger or a cue that tells the brain that the action needs to occur.

2 – The second step in the process is the actual action or behaviour itself.

3 – The final step is the reward, celebration or recognition after the action has occurred. This makes the brain feel good, and then it remembers the trigger and action for the next time.
