Habits are controlled by the IL cortex of the brain. So when someone says that habits free up space in your brain that isn’t true. In studies with rats turning off the IL cortex also turned off the habit they have been trained to do.
It is also proven that the IL cortex favors new habits over old ones so it is very difficult to go back on old habits.
— Studies from MIT
Experts say it actually only takes 21 days to break a habit, the same time it takes patients who loose appendages to remember and realize they do not have their appendage there.
Definitions of a Habit
- a usual way of behaving : something that a person does often in a regular and repeated way
- : a strong need to use a drug, to smoke cigarettes, etc.
- : a piece of clothing worn by members of a religious group
