You know, the way memories and the way habits are formed in the brain is biologically structural.
What do I mean by that?
There's this concept in neuroscience called Hebbian synapticity.

When you have parts in your brain that work together a lot, they become more entrenched.
They literally, there's these things called dendrites.

That happens for people and for things that happen regularly.
So habits that you have in your everyday life, they become like physical structures in your brain.
