"The problem is that your brain can't tell the difference between a good and bad habit, and so if you have a bad one, it's always lurking there, waiting for the right cues and rewards.
This explains why it's so hard to create exercise habits, for instance, or change what we eat. Once we develop a routine of sitting on the couch, rather than running, or snacking whenever we pass a donut box, those patterns always remain inside our heads. By the same rule, though, if we learn to create new neurological routines that overpower those behaviors - if we take control of the habit loop."
I need to learn to take control of the habit loop!!!!!!
