"The soul, like the body, accepts by practice whatever habit one wishes it to contact," Socrates.
Behavioral psychologists say it takes about 30 days to make a behavior a habit. Habits are helpful because we can do them without thinking of the steps, without any work involved. Socrates is saying that the soul can implement practices that can become habits too, just like the habits of brushing our teeth, etc. What soul habits do you want to incorporate into your life? For me, I want to incorporate even more positive thinking, seeing the goodness in every situation, and attaining the wisdom that is the foundation of appropriate action.
