A load of habits and freedom

And I talked about quality and technique... And now, when choosing a topic, for some reason I suddenly thought about "habits". Is it good or bad? Hmmm... although I think I've discussed that too, above... a lot above. Speaking of which, why don't I re-read my own thoughts, perhaps supplementing them with new ones and thus getting a new blog post. Okay, got off topic... Yes, still reasoned and my opinion hasn't changed, if you set aside the lyrics, the water and the search for truths, the views from all sorts of sides, then yes... Yes, the habit is bad. It's a certain stupor, a boundary or bar, a frontier you don't want to cross for a number of reasons. It's a "wonderful" excuse, "I'm so used to it," that keeps you from evolving.

However, there are also a lot of useful habits, which for others are just a limit of desires, which still can not be realized, referring to the same habits, which, allegedly, do not give the opportunity to realize the planned ... time is not enough.... aha ... But, agree, most often the connotation of the word "habit" is somewhat gray and is increasingly perceived from the negative side. But if we touch upon not only harmful and useful habits, but talk about something more extensive, say, I am used to living comfortably. Is that bad or good? Yeah, yeah, like two sides of a coin. Sort of like living in comfort - not developing, deliberately depriving yourself of complexities and problems. But! Living in a social and fast-developing world, we somehow encounter complexities and problems, even indirectly and even when there is little that depends on us.

A habit, a tradition, a date, a sign, a mark, a memory... Why and why do we single out something "meaningful" to us? Hmmm....always been an opponent of habits and here's what I remembered. When asked, "Why don't you buy one?" my response has always been, "I don't want another habit to add to my life. I already have to eat, breathe, sleep." A habit is a kind of weight that gets in the way and holds you down. Giving up any kind of habit is the easiest way to gain freedom, learning about the world through unfamiliar ways, gaining new knowledge.

Do something familiar today in a different way, as different as possible from how you used to do it before. 😉
