2022-03-28 16:40:12 Idioms that can be used in expressing HABITS

By Force Of Habit

When we do something frequently and often (like all habits) and when we do something without really thinking then we can say it was done by the force of habit.

Example:

Michael retired from work 2 weeks ago. He used to get up every day at 6 am to get ready for work. Now he does not have to but he finds that he still does get up at 6 am by force of habit. It will take a while to stop.

Kick The Habit

Give up something (usually bad) that you have done for a long time.

We are always encouraged to stop bad habits particularly smoking and habits that impact on our health. Advertising against smoking is usually very forceful and strong.

Example:

Kick the habit (stop smoking) today!

Get Into The Habit

to begin to do something regularly

Example:

Let’s get into the habit of posting original content.

Let’s get into the habit of saying positive things.
