Learn Vocabulary Through Article 220 - The Science of Habit Formation | Learn English

Habit formation is a psychological process that gradually becomes pervasive in our daily lives through acclimatization. When we want to create new habits, we need reinforcement. To build proper habits, we need to understand our brain's predisposition. Often, habits that seem intrinsically beneficial can become counterproductive if not properly formed. Some habits form quickly, but they are ephemeral and can be detrimental in the long run. To create good habits, we need to inculcate patience and bring gradual changes through assimilation. Our brains have latent capabilities that can cause metamorphosis with the right impetus. Therefore, to build habits, we need not coercion, but rather gradually creating a conducive environment.
