A habit is something you used to do without thinking much about it. Good habits support you in living the life you want and bad habits usually undermine what you′re working for. Sometimes we confuse bad habits with character traits and accept them as fact, when really they′re just habits. And habits can be changed.

Both good and bad habits generally serve you in some way. In some cases a bad habit is formed to protect you from an uncomfortable situation. Understanding where these habits come from and realizing their consequences can help you change your behavior.
