Basically what I mean is, I see people who smoke cigarettes for instance, are usually a little bit more on the anxious side. Now please don’t misunderstand me, I’m not trying to set stereotypes. I am just going off of my own personal experience and a little observation. I used to be a smoker for 10 years myself. After I quit I felt less anxiety and in general, more healthy and motivated all around. This is only one example of a bad habit. How about a persons eating or daily diet regimen for example. A person, who say, eats more fried foods than fresh, baked ect... How much does our eating, exercise, and daily habits really effect our mental decisions, and even spiritual life?

Our neurological system is complex and wonderful. What we eat, how much and what type of exercise, even what type of music we listen to can cause change in our neurology. As such, our environment can have a effect on our personalities and our perceptions of the universe just as much as our choices and actions change the environment around us. It is a lovely twisted and interconnected mess of factors.

In my opinion, you are looking at it backwards in a way. You are looking at what people do and wondering how that affects who they are. We take action based on our belief system, for example:
If someone believes that fried food will kill them and they are happy enough in life to care, they won't eat it.
What a person does is a result of what they believe and what we believe makes us who we are.
As for the anxiousness while smoking a cigarette......Nicotine is a stimulant.

No effect whatsoever. You're you , no matter what you eat, smoke, drink, or do. You'll never be anyone else, and nobody will ever be you.
