Creatures of habit

Dealing with new and/or unexpected situations is stressful and demanding. If people do only the things they know, they are also rarely caught off guard, unprepared. They don´t have to stay alarmed. They don´t have to use their brains to think about all moves that they are about to make.
Somehow humans are built to create habits. Habits that we repeat every day, over and over again. Habits that control our behaviour even when they are no longer beneficial.
Once we get used to something it becomes very hard to stop doing it.
It applies to the way we cut vegetables, the choice of food and drinks in a restaurant or even to talking to other people. The pattern of behaviour, once formed, stays the same.
