What Habits Have You Had Since Childhood?

Brushing my teeth after every meal and eating something before I go to bed every night.

Reading fairly often is a habit that I have had as long as I can remember. I love to read and it is something that has been done since a young age. I really cannot remember a time where I did not read at least something during the day. Granted, given the time that exists, it might be a few pages, maybe a chapter or two in a book but at least it is something. Also, going for regular walks is something that I really have enjoyed when I was a child. It keeps me as healthy as can be expected. Granted, I'm not the most healthy person in the world. However, I think I would be a lot worse off if it was not for my regular walks. So it is really something that I have done. There are other habits that got started early, but that is just something that sticks out in my mind at the moment.

Yes, that's right - repeatedly doing a task for an extended period can lead to new nerve patterns in the brain, which thereon enable you to do it automatically. Then there's also been the talk of the power of 21 i.e if you perform an activity for 21 successive days, it will turn into a habit. I can't vouch for it 100%, but it does sound convincing and I've even tried it as a motivator to cultivate a new habit which is still with me. As to your question, geez..I think I'm of some rare breed that I do nothing automatically - except waking up, which I do w/o an alarm - and need at least a minimal push to virtually everything.

No matter how old we get, some habits are just too hard to break. I find myself still biting my nails when i get too anxious or nervous about something. I also tend to twist my hair while I am reading. We can tell ourselves that we have broken a habit and we think that we have. Then we find ourselves doing it again.

since from my childhood i'd habit of drinking milk before sleeping till now i use to drink milk before i sleep

Habits I had since I was a child? Well knocking my knees together when sitting down...been doing that ever since. I can't explain why I do it I just do. Another would fixing my glasses since I've had them since I was a kid. The weird thing is I keep on fixing them even if they aren't falling from my face.

I have a habit to go to bathroom to complete morning routine. I can not hold the big one more than 30 minutes. It is still the problem. From the childhood I am praying to God at bed time as I can do best on next day. I also thanked him for the day I have passed. I always do it either I have passed the day wit joy or sorrow. Another one I always wear helmet when I drive my two Wheller. I also do it for my daughter. There are some more but not now.

Picking my nose... Just kidding! I buckle my seat belt automatically too. I make sure anyone riding with me buckles to or the car doesn't even start rolling. Thats not even a question in my family. Seatbelt is a must. Hmm other habits from childhood...ah. I put chips on my sandwich and smoosh them then eat it like that. I know it is weird but me and my brother and sister all do it. You make a sandwich, put your chips on it, then smoosh it. I actually had to think pretty hard before really answering because habits are things you don't realize you are doing and I know mine is weird from what most people do but I don't really think about it. I always look in the toilet when I pick up the lid. I mean, I don't stare into it or anything but when I was little I watched this movie where this hand got flushed down the toilet but then crawled back up again and grabbed someone when they were on the toilet so I always checked. I still do. Not necessarily for a hand or anything but I just look in then go to the bathroom.

I am not sure about that other than exercising I exercise everyday and if I dont I feel very weird. I love to excercise and thats the only thing that I no I have kept since childhood.

the habit i have is inclined with sleeping. that is, since i was a kid, i cant sleep with out a mosquito net on my feet. i just cant sleep without it and my feet scrubbing in it. until now i am still doing it. lol i just cant sleep well at night without it. That is why i am avoiding sleeping over my friend's house. im just afraid they dont have mosquito net there for my feet to scrub on. and its such a shame to bring one when i will sleep over with them haha

I think I had this bad habit since childhood is biting my nails eoww.. haha but yeah I don't know why I can't leave that habit out of my life I hope soon coz I think it's really bad habit.

i think the only habit that i have carried from my childhood is writing poems. Apart from that i have been a changed person. i have moulded mysef to the current world. I have changed myself completely. I was a shy and a silent guy. But now i i have completely changed.
