The types of habits
The influence of habits
1. Habit brings happiness
When one or more neurons (i.e., brain cells) pass information to each other, they secrete a chemical substance called neurotransmitters.
Dopamine is the neurotransmitter of happiness. It is one of the 60 neurotransmitters produced by the brain. When neurons release dopamine, we feel a feeling called happiness. If the level of dopamine is below a certain baseline, we will feel sad.
What activities can boost dopamine levels and overcome sadness and depression?
Daily exercise
Daily study
Build good interpersonal relationships
Cultivate a positive attitude
2. Habits lead to financial success
Savings Bucket Strategy
Step 1: Set up 4 different savings buckets, each used to place different types of savings.
1st Savings Bucket: Retirement Reserve Bucket.
Savings Bucket 2: Special Expenditure Bucket.
Savings Bucket 3: Emergency Expenses Bucket.
Savings Bucket 4: Periodic Expenses Bucket.
Step 2: Set savings goals
In order for the savings bucket to work, we must determine how much can be allocated from our monthly income as savings (e.g. 10% of our net income), and then distribute this 10% to each savings bucket.
Step 3: Set up the automated savings process
All is ready, and we have reached the final stage of saving: each month, the set amount of savings for each category will be automatically transferred to the corresponding independent account for each savings bucket.

Get to know habits
Habits are divided into three categories.
subconscious behavior
subconscious thoughts
A subconscious decision
The brain structure that affects habits
basal ganglia
Manage people's habits.
The basal ganglia are located deep within the brain, within the limbic system, and are the core area controlling people's subconsciousness and habits.
The function of the basal ganglia
When the basal ganglia issues an instruction to execute a habit, certain brain cells in the brain are activated, and people begin to unconsciously come up with certain ideas, make certain behaviors and make certain decisions.
The basal ganglia will seize the opportunity to do the following two tasks:
1. Label some brain cells as "habit".
2. Issue the command to execute habits to these brain cells labeled.
From the perspective of the brain, cultivating habits is like making an investment.
Synapse
Habit is the result of long-term repetition of behavior and thoughts, and is a by-product of continuous interaction between ordinary brain cells.
Habits affect genes
Everyday habits may cause the human body to turn on or off certain genetic genes, a phenomenon commonly referred to as "gene expression" or "epigenetics".
Activate the bad habit of malignant genes
Excessive drinking
Drug abuse
Eating too much junk food (unhealthy diet)
Lack of aerobic exercise
Eat too much sugar
The brain lacks exercise (not reading, not learning new knowledge and skills)
Negative emotions and negative thoughts
Good habits and their effects include
Persist in reading or learning new skills every day
Stick to aerobic exercise every day
Meditation can turn off the bad genes that cause various diseases.
Optimistic thoughts and emotions
In the book "The Power of Habit", author Charles Duhigg tells us through his excellent research that the process of habit execution is divided into three stages: "cue", "routine behavior", and "reward".

1. Visual
