Defining Habits and Routines
Understanding what constitutes habits and routines is foundational for behavior change. A habit is characterized as a recurrent, often unconscious pattern of behavior acquired through frequent repetition, while routines involve a sequence of actions with a higher degree of conscious planning. Researchers like Charles Duhigg describe habits as neurological loops comprising cues, routines, and rewards, which help make certain behaviors automatic over time. Wendy Wood emphasizes the automatic nature of habits, highlighting that they manifest through repetition and respond to specific cues, further distinguishing them from conscious routines.
