On habits.......................................

The labels "good habit" and "bad habit" are slightly inaccurate.  There are no good habits or bad habits.  There are only effective habits.  That is, effective at solving problems.  All habits serve you in some way—even the bad ones—which is why you repeat them. . . . here is a question I like to use:  "Does this behavior help me become the type of person I wish to be?  Does this habit cast a vote for or against my desired identity?"  Habits that reinforce your desired identity are usually good.  Habits that conflict with your desired identity are usually bad.
