Habits

Habit, what is habit? Is this something we do regularly? With our without us knowing. Habit is defined as an acquired behavior pattern regularly followed until it has become almost involuntary. 

So, everyone has their own habit, I am 100% sure of it. Bathing at midnight, screaming when you get excited, eating at unearthly hour and biting your finger nails. They are all habits. And they revolve around us everyday. 

Good and Bad Habits

In this context, habits formed as a result our behaviors. And once it is formed, it is hard to give up. It takes time and humongous effort to let go of undesired habits. Talk about undesired habits, there are two types of habits. Good and Bad, simple as that.

Bad habits, they are of course undesirable, isn't it. Imagine you have the habit of biting your toes frequently. And what happen if you bite your toes in public as you can't stop yourself? Better get a grocery bag to cover your face when you go back home because you are gonna be the laughing stock of the people. 

Grocery bag to cover your face. ROAR

 And your image gonna be ruined. Do you want that to happen to you? 

Of course, not all habits are bad. Studying, revising regularly, saving a penny or two everyday or jogging regularly, they are the habits that will help us in some ways.

An example of good habit

Habits can be contagious sometimes. For example, yours truly have a friend who would go "MEOW" every times she feels embarrassed. And thanks to that friend, I also grew a habit of Meow-ing for no reason. I wouldn't say it is a good or bad habit but it gets irritating over times when I meow for no specific reason over and over again. Contagious isn't it, my friend's meow-ism?

We humans are like monkeys, we see what other people do and we will do the same. Monkey see, Monkey do, I wonder if that phrase was created as a result.

Monkey see, monkey do. (Just an example)

Habits, they are inevitable parts of human behaviors. And we can't prevent them from happening, and we never will succeed in preventing them from happening. However, we can stop the habits that are undesirable. Of course, we can't stop them with a hocus-focus or with a finger snap. It takes time, may be a week, or a month, or more. But with determination, we sure can stop the undesirable habits. What important the most is mind over matter.

That's all folks.
