Two-thirds of our daily behaviors are #habits, according to new research, and this is (mostly) good news. 🚶🏾‍♀️ 🏋🏼‍♀️ 🥗https://ow.ly/KW1c50X0J3k @uscnews.bsky.social @uscresearch.bsky.social @surreypsychology.bsky.social @amandarebar.bsky.social @profbengardner.bsky.social @phdsleepy.bsky.social

Many psychology models portray people as rational decision makers who carefully deliberate over the pros and cons of their options prior to choosing how to act. However, previous research has shown that one of the most reliable predictors of future behavior is past behavior.
