Bad habits can be difficult to break because they become, to some degree, hardwired into the brain through repetition, which solidifies neural connections related to the behavior. Fortunately, the brain never loses the ability to restructure itself, and thus new connections and habits can always be created. At the most advanced level of training, this includes the ability to change deeply ingrained prejudices and preconceptions for the creation of a better, more satisfying life.
