Habits

Human beings are entirely creatures of habit
Young children are born with no habit loops
They're essentially born as blank slates
And then they habituate themselves to things and they learn patterns
And they get conditioned
And then, they use that to get through everyday life

And, habits are good
Habits are good
Habits are good
Habits can allow you to background process certain things
Habits are good
So that your frontal lobe, stays available to solve brand new problems

We also unconsciously pick up habits
In the background and we keep them for decades
And we may not realize that they're bad for us
'Till we're ready to move on them
To some extent, our attitude in life
Our mood, our happiness levels, depression levels
These are also habits

Habits
Do we judge people?
Habits
How often do we eat?
What kind of food do we eat?
Habits
Do we walk or do we sit? Do we move? Do we exercise?
Habits
Do we read?
Do we read?
Do we read read read
These are habits as well

You absolutely need habits to function
You cannot solve every problem in life
As if it is the first time it's thrown at you
What we do is we accumulate all these habits
We put them in the bundle of identity
Ego, ourselves, and then we get attached to that
I'm Shane, This is the way I am
I'm Naval, This is the way I am

It's really important to be able to uncondition yourself
To be able to take your habits apart and say
Oh, okay
Well that
That's a habit that I probably picked up from when I was a toddler
And I was trying to get my parents attention
And now I've just reinforced it and reinforced it and reinforced it
And I call it a part of my identity
But Is it serving me anymore?
Is it making me happier?
Is it making me healthier?
Is it making me accomplish whatever I want
To set out to accomplish right now?

And so I think you can unconditionally yourself
You can untrain yourself
It's just harder
It takes work, it takes effort
Usually the big habit changes comes
When there's strong desire-motivators attached to them

Habits are good
Habits are good
Habits are good
Habits are good

Angels in the sky
Angels in the sky
Angels in the sky
Angels in the sky
