if someone does something from force of habit, they do it without thinking because they have done it so often before.

Force of Habit
You can trace every success (or failure) in your life back to a habit. What you do on a daily basis largely determines what you'll achieve in life.

But do not make the mistake of thinking that it will go as soon
as you cease to fear it. Your nerves are still sensitized and
will take time to heal, just as a broken leg takes time.
However, as you improve and are no longer afraid of the
churning, and do not try to cure it by controlling it, and are
prepared to accept it and work with it present, you will
gradually become more interested in other things and will
gradually forget to notice whether it is there or not. This is
the way to recover. By true acceptance you break the fear-
adrenalin-fear cycle or, in other words, the churning-
adrenalin-churning cycle.
TRUE ACCEPTANCE: THE KEYSTONE TO RECOVERY
Of course the churning, itself a symptom of tension,
must inevitably come while so tensely awaited.
I tried to make him understand that he must be prepared
to let his stomach churn and to continue reading his paper
while it churned. He must try to loosen that tight hold on
himself, literally let his body sag into the chair and go
toward, not shrink from, any feeling his body brings him.
Then, freed from the stimulus of tension and anxiety,
his adrenalin-releasing nerves would gradually calm down and
the churning would automatically lessen and finally cease.
THE SYMPTOMS ARE ALWAYS A REFLECTION OF YOUR MOOD
This man was asked to do no more than change his mood
from apprehension to acceptance. The symptoms of this type of
illness are always a reflection of your mood. However, it is
well to remember that it may be some time before your body
reacts to the new mood of acceptance and that it may continue
for a while to reflect the tense, frightened mood of the
preceding weeks, months, or years. This is one reason why
nervous illness can be so bewildering and why this old man was
bewildered. He had begun to accept, but when the symptoms did
not disappear immediately, he quickly lost heart and became
apprehensive again, although trying to convince himself that he
was accepting.
It takes time for a body to establish acceptance as a
mood and for this eventually to bring peace, just as it took
time for fear to become established as continuous tension and
anxiety. That is why "letting time pass" is such an important
part of your treatment and why I emphasize it again and again.
Time is the answer. But there must be that background of true
acceptance while waiting for time pass.

hope and help 1
Three main pitfalls can lead into nervous illnes. They are sensitization, bewilderment, and fear.
Sensitization is a state in which our nerves react in an exaggerated way to stress.
So much nervous illness is no more than severe sensitization kept alive by bewilderment and fear.
Present sensitization remains to be cured, whatever the original cause. The sensitized person is concerned with the state he is in now, not with what may possibly have caused it a long time ago.
"The great majority of my nervously ill patients have been made ill and kept ill because of the way they feel; because of fear of what they think may happen next."
If fear of palpitations has not drawn this person into this type of illness, fear of some other upsetting bodily sensation generally has.
"Naturally, fighting means more tension, tension more adrenalina and further stimulation of the adrenalin-releasing nerves, and so the continuation of symptoms."
he spent his time:
Running away, not FACING;
Fighting, not ACCEPTING;
Arresting and "listening in", not FLOATING past;
Being impatient with time, not LETTING TIME PASS.
Churning Stomach
Begin with the nervous feeling in your stomach, the so-called churning. This may feel like an uneasy fluttering or may bore steadily like a hot poker passing from your stomach to your back. Do not tensely flinch from it.Go with it. Relax and analyze it. Take a few minutes to do this before reading on.
Now that you have faced and examined it, is it so terrible? If you had arthritis in your wrist, you would be prepared to work with the arthritic pain without becoming too upset. Why regard this churning as something so different from ordinary pain that it can frighten you? Stop regarding it as some monster trying to possess you. Understand that it is but the working of oversensitized adrenalin-releasing nerves and that by constantly shrinking from it you have stimulated an excessive outflow of adrenalin that has further excited your nerves to produce continual churning. By your anxiety you are producing the very feelings you dislike so much.
Just As a Broken Leg Takes Time To Heal
So, be prepared to accept and live with it for the time being. Accept it as something that will be with you for some time yet, in fact while you recover, but something that will eventually leave you if you are prepared to let time pass and not anxiously watch the churning during its passing.

Leonardo Boff, a Bíblia
Mas possui essa mentalidade teologicamente errônea e maléfica. No fundo, possui um conceito fúnebre de Deus. Não é um Deus vivo que fala pela história e pelos seres humanos, mas falou outrora, no passado, deixou um livro, como se ele nos dispensasse de pensar, de buscar caminhos bons para todos.
O primeiro livro que Deus escreveu são a criação e a natureza. Elas estão cheias de lições. Criou a inteligência humana para captarmos as mensagens da natureza e inventarmos soluções para nossos problemas.
A Bíblia não é um receituário de soluções ou um feixe de verdades fixadas, mas uma fonte de inspiração para decidirmos pelos melhores caminhos. Ela não foi feita para encobrir a realidade, mas para iluminá-la.
