I have been reading “Making Habits Breaking Habits” and came across this word. It is making actions automatic. We do this a lot. Half are lives are in automatic or repetitive actions YMMV.<\/p>\n

If you want to break or start things breaking up the routine helps. That “comfy chair” will set you up and you won’t even know it.<\/p>\n

We also react to people in automatic ways. We take them for granted and stop listening. (“Not me dear, other people. What were you saying again?”)<\/p>\n
