Between Calculated Risk And Reckless Decision-making Lies

When A Habit Emerges, The Brain Stops Fully Participating In Decision Making. It Stops Working So Hard, Or Diverts Focus To Other Tasks. So Unless You Deliberately Fight A Habit -- Unless You Find New Routines -- The Pattern Will Unfold Automatically.
