Good habits don’t exist

[Andrew-dgqm]

Wow, I was just having a conversation today with a friend about how rituals are better than habits. We I agree - good habits don’t exist. As Jiddu Krishnamurti says, the mechanical mind. All paths lead to an end. A habit can be useful temporary. We need to redefine what we think discipline means

This is helpful, thank you! ❤
I would love a video on what your specific rituals are and why they help. x

The inability to habituate seems to be a hallmark of ADHD. I've also had more success pivoting to rituals.

Unfortunately with ADHD I and some other people can't form habits like normal and all the things you listed at the beginning take effort and aren't automatic I have to actively think and plan rituals to get those things done everyday. I didn't realize I didn't though until someone told me that was the case for ADHD people and I realized I don't form habits. I have muscle memory but actually habits I have never been able to form and it explained why I never could form habits like brushing my teeth every morning when I wake up no matter how many times I got myself to do it in a row it didn't stick and I still have to actively remember to do that. Just wanted to put that out there for other people like me cause I never understood before when people would say stuff about forming better habits

Good habits exist... It just doesn't seem that way if you have a problem making habits.

Maybe animals are smarter than us... A horse trainer said horses don't have bad habits. They just do things that get them what they want. If they bite you, that's a good habit in their mind. It made you go away.

Do you have a suggestion for learning more about rituals? Thank you. 😊

It takes effort for me to get myself to eat because I forget that I need to.

Interesting. I would love to hear a suggestion..How does it work for a family it is very difficult to maintain a ritual with my toddler and extremely extrovert husband who has guests every now and then
