For Habits

 

1. They can save time. Sometines a habit is formed by repeating the most efficient way to complete a task. As each step becomes something you could do in your sleep, how quickly you can do it can also increase.

2. Because you wanted to aviid something. Like to jog, but don't like the big dog that barks every time you pass its house? As you scout out another path to avoid the dog, that new path may become the one you automatically jog, even after that dog's family moves.

3. To help you be healthy. Good habits for caring for yourself are great! Sleep schedule, regular meals, time with or away from others. Figure out what you need to be happy and healthy, then work to fit those things into your day-to-day life!

4. For your pets. Animals can recognize the daily routine. The dog knows when you supposed to feed him, and the cats know when it is time for bed. Sometimes, your pets remember the routine better than you do.

5. So you know what to do. Following the steps of your routine can help you know when something unusual will occur. Maybe part of your routine is to recognize and add those alterations to your schedule.

6. Because practice can make perfect, so long as you practice the good habits.

7. So you can focus your mind on other things. Simple, time consuming habits can be made more enjoyable by multitasking. If it is something you can confidently do, having your mind work on another problem while your hands are busy is great.

8. For when you just don't feel well. Sometimes a you don't feel comfortable at all, but still need to work on something. That's when having the familiarity of a habitual task can be nice.

9. It could give you something to talk about. Maybe you have a habit of eating all the red candies first, or you always pat your pocket before closing the car door. If someone notoces and is curious about what you're doing, you might be able to make a friend.

10. They help you not feel lost.
