The main difference between a habit and a routine is awareness. Both are regular, repeated actions. But while habits run on autopilot, routines are intentional.  Routines need deliberate practice, or they’ll eventually die out. But a habit happens with little or no conscious thought.

What’s the difference between habits and routines??

For instance, a gratitude practice requires intention and effort. It won’t run on autopilot. The same is true for exercise. You’re not going to start exercising on autopilot. But (if you have the habit), you'll grab a cigarette on autopilot.

How Can We Know is it Habit

For a routine to turn into a habit, the behavior will need to happen with little or no thought. For instance, let’s say you add drinking green juice to your morning routine. If one day you wake up and make green juice without thinking about it, you can consider it a habit.
