The constructive Habit Formation

No comments
Man is the servant of habit. A person is guided by the habit he is accustommed to. Even man cannot change his strong habit. That's why men cannot get rid of bad habit easily.
A bad habit destroys us and a good habit construct our life. As a man is controlled by his habit he can also form a good habit.
A sportsman who wins the gold medal in a race exercises everyday. As a consequent of his daily practice of habit for a long time he wins the fame. This example shows us that sportsman  continues his regular practice. He never breaks this habit. He practises for a long time.
To form a habit you have to practise regulary for a long period. A river lays in the silt beside it day to day and oneday we see a huge islands in its breast. Isaland is very useful for cultivation and there grows many plants because of its yielding soil. Human nature construct a habit day to day and  gets its benefits.
According to psychology practising something for at least 21 days makes a permanent habit. So you need not worry about how many days conscious effort forms a peramanent habit. You even need not worry that only after 21 days conscious effort makes you continue to work something with the impact of your habit formation. Human nature does not like change. It resists to change. So with the inflience of your habit you will be automatically guided. Even a single day you do not follow your habit your mind miss the work.
Human nature is also like nature that create the outside environment. In nature nothing hurries to form. Nature forms something slowly and it becomes the most beautiful and permanent. Human nature  similarly follows the same rules.
Habits that we can usualy make for our improvement are getting up early in the morning, exercise, meditation, thinking, attitude, study etc. Just do something regularly with conscious effort. Forming a good habit is a postive approach in life. This helps self-development.
When a man's mind is very calm his mind remains recptive. Then if a man practise something he easily forms the habit. In the morning when a man get up his mind remains fresh and calm. And at night before sleep doing something easily makes a habit because sleep stores the pratice well in  memory.
Time is an important factor to form a habit. If we do something regulary at a certain time we easily make a habit. Actuall we make habit to acquire a skill. We know that our perfomarnce becomes perfect depending on our skill. And regular practice that is a form of habit increases our skill level.
Time is an important factor because it applies conditioning to our mind. Our mind becomes ready to perform a work as a result of conditioning. The conditioning theory was invented by Pavlov. He researched upon a dog. The dog was given meal to a particular time. After several days the sound of bell was added with the system. After that if the dog  heard the sound of the bell its saliva would drop from its mouth. Because his food was condituoned with the sound of the bell.
A habit at a particular time is also a conditioning process for our mind. Automatically without conscious effort we can perfom the work easily. We need not apply extra conscious effort.
Human beings are guided with bilogical clock. We can observe the effect of biological clock at various work habit. You can notuce that your getting up in the morning happens at a particular time. If you do not set the alarm your sleep will be over at that particular moment you used to get up. We feel hungry at the particular moment because of the bilogical clock. Biological clock is the result of time factor.
