Habits are repeated patterns of behavior that an individual acquires by their own free will. In some cases, habits become almost automatic and involuntary in the short term but are changeable with sustained effort. Habits are customarily categorized as good or bad but many habits are also grey areas that may have both benefits and drawbacks. The following are common examples of habits.
