How to identify your habits

You may have more habits than you realize. Learn how to distinguish them from your other behaviors. There’s a difference between habits and behaviors, and knowing that difference can help you identify habits you may not know you have. Habits are subconscious actions performed automatically in response to a trigger, and capped by a reward. Behaviors are actions that you are conscious of. Take time to identify the habits you have. You can’t change what you don’t know exists! Do you notice you repeat certain behaviors? Or always do them in a particular place, state of mind, or time? You may have more habits that you realized.
