I remember reading Yogananda's words on habit forming. He said something like, you can't kill habits but you can replace them. I notice I have the strongest Mondays because through a disciplined routine Monday is my day to conquer my self and my greater desires which includes a meditation practice. Some mondays I wonder where all this good energy comes from, then I remember it was the cultivation of a good habit as described by Yogananda.

There are also bad habits that lead to aversion. And there are things that we could all use a detox from. Social media, cell phones, news... To name a few. Our food, even our social circles. The things we watch. Read.

I think we've been all these things in one life. Good, evil, restless, meditative, ignorant, wise, happy- sad.
