We do we repeat any habit or behavior?
The answer is "satisfaction". We tend to repeat those behavior when the experience is satisfying. Conversely, if such experience is not satisfying then we have little reason to repeat.
This pleasure and satisfaction tecahe our brains that the behavior is worth remembering and repeating.

We often find it hard to get rid of bad habits or inculcate new good habit. It is because that bad habit has been
- embedded with us from so long time
- getting rid requires lot of effort and motivation.
Same works with good habit. New good habit required lot of motivation and efforts.
Most effecive way-
Reducing friction and making the habit easier and simple. Fit the habit into flow of your life.

We want outcome not the habit!
In reality, we don't want any habit rather we want outcome from that habit. We develop habit as a way to fulfill outcome.
For example, we want to meditate in order to improve focus and to stay calm. Here, we want the outcome from mediation i.e. improve focus and stay calm.
