Question

It is any action that is repeated frequently becomes cast into a pattern. Habits arise naturally during the course of our lives.

For example, our need to wash ourselves. While at home, we could take a bath or shower at any time. Yet, most of us develop a pattern of washing at a particular time -- in the morning after rising, perhaps, or in the evening before going to bed. The same is true of many other activities -- the path we take on the way to work, the manner in which we greet other people, certain words that we use in conversation, and so on. Even though many choices are available in these situations, we habitually tend to limit ourselves to a smaller set.

List five habits most people follow (be very elaborate like the example I gave):

Expert Solution
Step 1

Habits are automatic patterns of behavior that are developed through repeated exposure to a specific situation or context. These behaviors become ingrained in our daily lives and are often performed without conscious thought or effort. Habits can be formed through a process called "habituation," where the brain learns to associate a particular behavior with a specific stimulus or situation.
