- "Habit is overcome by habit." — Thomas a Kempis
- "Habit converts luxurious enjoyments into dull and daily necessities."— Aldous Huxley
I think the quote-of-the-day omen struck me this week. Both of the above quotes were sent to me within a few days of each other. It left me wondering if it was a coincidence or a sign that I should examine all my habits. Bad habits, more specifically. It seems like those are the only ones that stick out to me. Hmm- what is a good habit I have? Maybe one of you can help me with a few suggestions.
I'm currently considering what inspires a habit. Is it a more subtle form of a addiction? If so, the first quote seems apt. In order to rid yourself of one irksome habit, you need to replace that need with something else all together.
noun
1.
an acquired behavior pattern regularly followed until it has become almost involuntary.
I learned today (thanks to coworkers) that I whistle like my dad does- I assume I acquired the habit - involuntarily. I suppose that isn't a horrible habit. Unless you hate whistling. Next up: an assessment of all my bad habits and what to do about them.
