=Why? The Need to Break from Grooves of Habits=
 
One is free only when it is the Divine who makes decisions in each of us, otherwise men are the slaves of their desires, their habits, of all conventions, all laws, all rules. And the more they think themselves free, the more bound they are! <ref>http://incarnateword.in/agenda/11/february-7-1970#p75</ref>
==To Get Rid of Habitual Surface Reactions==
One must go deep within oneself and discover that one does not exist. Only the Divine exists, and so long as you have not made that discovery, you cannot advance on the path. When one has made this discovery, one becomes aware that one was nothing but a bundle of habits. In everyone there are these hundreds and hundreds of "selves" who speak and in hundreds of completely different ways—"selves" unconscious, changing, fluid. The self which speaks today is not the same as yesterday's; and if you look further, the self has disappeared. There is only one who remains. That is the Divine. It is the only one that may be seen always the same. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/05/8-april-1953#p23</ref>

==How The important thing is to Improve Habitsget rid of the habit of the invasion of troubling thoughts, wrong feelings, confusion of ideas, unhappy movements. These disturb the nature and cloud it and make it more difficult for the Force to work; when the mind is quiet and at peace, the Force can work more easily. It should be possible to see things that have to be changed in you without being upset or depressed; the change is the more easily done.<ref>http: Helpful Practices ==//incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/silence#p18</ref>
===By Will Power===
Begin with a small thing, a small detail. you insist on it with the same regularity, you see, either not to do it or to do it—you insist on it and compel yourself to do it. You make the same kind of effort, but it is more of an inner effort. After taking these and succeeding with them, you can unite with a greater force and try a more complicated experiment. And gradually, if you do this regularly, you will end up by acquiring an independent and very strong will. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/06/3-november-1954#p17</ref>

The spirit of vital falsehood, dramatic and romantic, obscurs the reason and shuts out common sense and simple truth. To clear the vital, one must get out of it all compromise with falsehood—no matter how specious the reason it advances—and get the habit of simple straightforward psychic truth engraved in it so that nothing may have a chance to enter. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/the-nature-of-the-vital#p15</ref>
