Why do some old habits refuse to die?

Old habits have usually either been given down from parents to children or have been picked up along the road to adulthood.

I have my old habits that I am not willing to change because they have served me well and, in a way, protected me from doing stupid things or to get too adventurous and to potentially get into a dangerous situation.

Old habits should never die if they have been doing you favors or if you have felt comfortable with them. Bad habits on the other hand should be eliminated as quickly as possible. Those would include smoking, drugs, gambling, pornography consumption, just to name a few. Those are vicious and serve no purpose but to harm you.

Good and old habits such as watching before you cross the road, not to take useless risks should never die as they may jeopardize your health and life.

The more a habit is repeated, the stronger these pathways become, making the behavior more automatic.

You have to refrain neuro pathways with reinforce. A part of your brain literally grows when you make yourself so stuff you don't want to. Then once you do it enough it gets conditioned.
