Question

Thanks!

Answer 1

Correct!  Habits are over-learned behavior, the repetitive stuff we do on auto-pilot because we don't need to think about them. But you know that-- it's the instinctive behavior that is truly unconscious: those self-protective reflexes we know 'without thought'- avoiding an open flame, or ducking to avoid getting beaned by a ball.

Where it can get spooky is when 'without thought', you save a kid or buddy from harm, >but neither of you saw it coming<! Like a moment's pause before driving into an intersection, and just miss getting T-boned..

It happens all the time, but nobody knows why. Go Figure.
