What is "good"? What is "bad"? For most people, those are forms of pleasure and pain. There is no truly "good" or "bad". Habit formation is a form of wishful thinking. You're creating a rut of the mind, and as such, become more separated from the reality at hand. Wishful thinking, at its core, is a form of separation from reality. Normally, external conditions reinforces the habit, and so the rut of the mind gets deeper and deeper. But when external conditions change -- as they inevitably will -- you end up with a psychological dynamic described by the Five Stages of Grief. Most people's notion of "bad" are formed from when external changes forces them out of their comfortable habits. They cling to these habits and wish things would "get back to normal". As such, there is neither "good" or "bad" habits. There are just habits, all of which keep you from adapting to change, and are just as much out of touch with reality as wishful thinking.
