Habit - a settled or regular tendency or practice, especially one that is hard to give up.
Habits are driven by a cue, a routine and a reward. This can be a bad habit, such as
Hunger - Eats Cookie - Cookie is enjoyed and you are no longer full
or a good habit
Wants to get in shape - works out - sees improvement
The key to breaking a habit is the reward element. By putting a reward into the equation there is a purpose behind something other than just dealing with the difficulty of breaking the habit. Another way that can break a habit is to alter the cue. If something stimulates this desire in the brain, moving away from that cue can cause someone to have no desire to repeat the habit
