Negative Habit Patterns & How To Overcome Them

Just as a Habit can be positive or negative, so can a Pattern Interruption. A habit is actually just a pattern that has been developed through repetition. Have you ever heard the term "repetition is the mother of skill?" As a patterned habit is reinforced, it becomes ingrained deeper and deeper into our subconscious. It is the continued repetition of any action or thought that makes that specific action or thought increasingly natural. This is why habits are hard for some people to recognize and difficult for them to alter. There's a saying, "good habits are hard to develop and easy to live with. Bad habits are easy to develop and hard to live with." Yet, doing things in a habitual manner is essential toward our personal development. The more habitual our daily routines and activities become the less thought and energy we need to use to achieve them. There for the more energy, focus and brainpower we can devote to new projects, skills and achievements.
