"Glitchy"

I've gotten used to refreshing my browser whenever something goes glitchy on the Torum platform (e.g., stale notifications, wallet balance post XTM mission claiming, etc.).

That means, when/if the current bugs finally get resolved, I'll have to unlearn a very strong "auto-refresh habit".

This brings me to the subject of this post: "Habits".

Habits take a long time to set in and even a longer time to break.

They can help you achieve great things at a faster rate; or they can sabotage all your best intentions.

Most habits are insidious; creeping into your life under the radar.

This is from the powerful, yet passive form of repeated environmental exposure.

You can use that in your favor; intentionally altering your environment to replace bad habits with good ones.

For better or worse, habits are a part of life.

You can be a slave to them.

Or you can use them to your advantage.

If you haven't read James Clear's blockbuster book, Atomic Habits (hit # 1 on the New York Times Bestseller List), I highly recommend that you do.

In it, Clear explains the significance and power of habits in our daily lives.

But on a more practical note, he spells out in detail what the best methods are for adopting a new habit quickly and painlessly.

Submitted FYI.

May you and yours be well and loving life today.

In Lak'ech, JaiChai
