We all have our habits, things we do a certain way every time, mostly without even thinking about it. Have you ever found yourself pulling up at your job and realizing you can't remember the trip that got you there? It's like the car knows where to go. Actually, it's your brain that knows where to go. There is a "go to work" groove carved into your gray matter so you don't even have to think anymore.

Sometimes this works against you. Have ever been driving somewhere that involves a similar but different set of directions? You get to the light and...wait, I needed to turn left instead of right! What happened? The familiar place is to the right and if you weren't being present at that stoplight, to the right you will go. It's your pattern.
