In the book “The Power of Habit” Author Charles Duhigg explains, how a habit forms? An action or a move that takes place on our daily routine again and again is called habit. A habit is created of a cue, a cue is physical sense that makes our brain to follow an action; Routine is an action of doing something; and reward is the achievement of our actions. For instance, for a smoker the cue is pack of cigarettes, smoking is the routine, and the reward is the pleasure the he takes for smoking. Having said that, I have a few habits which are, eating my nails, and playing games. After reading “The Power of Habit”, I decided to incorporate Duhigg’s ideas about habit with my own habit of playing games, and will try to change it by knowing and understanding the habit loop, craving, golden rule of habit change,…

In On Habit, Alain de Botton writes about how people become habituated and believe there is nothing left to see or learn about the certain location they are in. In this essay, Botton discovers an attitude to approach places we think we already know, and no longer find interest in. This mindset is intended for the environment you are in, but can also be apply to styles of reading and writing.…

The first three habits focus on obtaining private victory, or making change within yourself, to achieve independence from dependence. The first habit to begin this transition is to be proactive. Highly effective people do not resign to the fact that there is nothing they can do about a problem or situation. Effective people institute change with what they have the power to influence, and they feel that they can influence almost everything.…
According to John Dewey, Habits are inevitable. We are empowered by both good and bad habits. In his essay, “Habits and Will”, Dewey states that we envision bad habits as such acts of “foolish idling, gambling, addiction to liquor and drugs”, and we associate good habits with skills such as walking, playing a musical instrument, and typing. We see bad habits as desires and good habits as abilities that “exist far from our impulsive desires”. Bad habits are not deliberately formed and are also hard to break. Dewey explains that will power alone is not enough; one must follow a specific method to turn habits around. I feel that I, someone who tends to get distracted easily and procrastinate, should benefit from Dewey’s habit-breaking method.…
From this habit it says that as human beings we are responsible for our own lives. Our behavior is a function of our decisions, not our conditions. Part of our self-awareness is understanding our Circle of Concern, our range of concern which we have no mental or emotional involvement. A Circle of Influence is inside the Circle of Concern reflecting the things over which we have control. Self determination, choice, and the power is response to stimulus, conditions and circumstances. Proactive people focus efforts in the Circle of Influence to work on the things they can do something about. The you have the reactive people who focus on the Circle of Concern, the weakness of people, the problems in the environment and things they have no control over. I really like what is said in the book 'We are free to choose our actions, we are not free to choose the consequences of those actions'. I think it is very true no matter what or how you think. Working on yourself first instead of other conditions you can better influence the outcome.…

Environment happens to play a role as well when it comes to demographics. Environment happens to play one of the main roles. Habits become hard to break because of the type of environment you around. Who, what, and the things that you are surrounded by happen to make up part of your environment, and it becomes hard to control when you get used to it and things become normal to you. An example would be; you stop by McDonald’s every day to get a Sunday just as a snack for the day. If that McDonalds was not so close to you, you would probably not have picked up the habit to buy an ice-cream. When you have so much or an environment surrounded by you that comes natural or that you see as being natural, it does not seem like anything to you because you do it in your everyday life. These things…
Habit could be referred to as a tradition people have. Many people have habits that they are unaware of, for example, when people put their socks on, some people do the right first and some people do the left first. Habit is a factor that is present all through a person’s daily life. Habit represents the way in which we do things because we do it every day continuously. Habit is particularly important because learning something doesn’t make you better at it unless you practice it enough times. An old kung fu saying is “I’m not afraid of the man that known 1000 moves and practiced them all once, I’m afraid of the man that knows one move and practiced it 1000 times.” This quote means that when someone has a habit of doing something, the habit keeps getting stronger and stronger also meaning that it could become much harder to stop. When a person learns something new, there are a few stages which the brain as to go through. The first one being where you don’t know about it and you don’t know how to do it. Then there are a couple of steps where your brain learns to adapt to it and where you can practice something enough times but you still have to think about every step you are doing. The last step to this is where the all of it becomes automatic and that is when habit overpowers reason.…
