Habits are difficult to change because you get so used to doing it that it becomes a routine.

Do you bite your nails? It's a habit. Do you flick your hair? It's a habit. Do you brush your teeth everyday? It's a habit. Do you undress in the opposite order of how you dressed? It's a habit. Then there's drugs. Then there's speed. Then there's adrenaline. Then there's catching a train, bus everyday for work. All these things are learnt and become habitual. A habit by it's definition is something you do without thinking about it - so of course any habit is hard to change, unless you are aware of it and want to change it. From what I've read anyone can give up any habit at all but smoking cigarettes is the hardest. How's that?

Habits are simply learned behaviour that has become unconscious. New behaviour and new habits can always be formed. Hypnotherapy, NLP and CBT are excellent ways are breaking unwanted habits and forming new ones and is not difficult at all if you REALLY want to change a habit.

good habits are goods but bad habits are bad. Bad habits can not be changed but godd habit can be changed into the bad ones. This is only habit.

Something usually becomes a habit, because you like it! So, You have to strongly want it, in order to give up a habit!

Anything you practice all of the time, you WILL get very good at eventually. Good or bad. If you smoke all of the time, you soon won't be able to quit. At least think you won't. If you constantly curse, it becomes a part of you. If you practice any instrument over and over, you become quite good at it. It all comes down to;
Practice makes perfect. Good or bad practices.

Because person get addicted with their habits. But if they could centralise their strength, definitely they can change their habits...

They are programmed into your nervous system and you perform these tasks without your conscious being aware.
