Aristotle said, "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit."
But making excellence a habit is easier said than done. For most people, the word habit evokes thoughts of junk food or television, not excellence.
Psychologist Bruce Liese stopped by Central Standard to talk about the ins and outs of habit formation, and help us recognize the difference between a good habit and a bad one. He offered advice on getting to the root causes of our most deeply ingrained patterns and offered insight into the common problem of relapse.
