The Power of Experience in Changing Habits
Changing habits and behaviors can be facilitated by positive experiences. When we have numerous positive experiences associated with a certain action or behavior, our brain is more likely to adopt it as a habit. For example, if we see someone looking smart in a particular outfit, and then receive compliments when we wear the same outfit, we are more inclined to continue wearing it. This change happens at a subconscious level, without conscious effort.
