Habit Formation
If you’ve struggled to develop healthy habits like meditating or running in the morning, here are some tips from the science of habit formation.
According to Dr. Andrew Huberman, a professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine, a habit is something that your nervous system has learned consciously or not. Learning takes place through changes in the connections between the neurons. This is called neuroplasticity. Your nervous system changes in reaction to experiences and new neural circuits and pathways are formed.
The goal of habit formation is to make desired behaviors automatic so they require less effort. We don’t need to send instructions to the brain to perform them. The neural circuitry fires automatically.
