Controls how we react to things naturally
Habits are formed by the things we do repeatedly over time
Practice is the way to deliberately form a habit (&I)
Habits of mind are formed all the time (&I)
When we repeat a certain mental thought, we develop a habit unknowingly
When we deliberately take control of our thought processes, we can create positive habits of thought
How to eliminate a bad habit or replace it with a good one
Before we start building habits, we need to first decide how we should react before the situation arises when we are in a mindful state
As practice, you could simulate the situation in your mind to practice the reaction
When the actual situation happens, it is quite difficult to stay to your intentions because the habit overtakes our control
In order to overcome this, you should pick a trigger that alerts you to the habit
Use the trigger to remind you to act the way you intend
Over time the reaction to the trigger will become autonomous and the habit will be formed
