What’s the difference between a HABIT and a ROUTINE?

What’s the difference between a HABIT and a ROUTINE and how does consistency play a role? Habits are behaviors we have, often without much thought, that can be good for us or not. Routines are a collection of habits that we do consistency over time to add predictability to our lives. A morning routine may include habits such as drinking a cup of coffee, walking the dog, having a quiet time, and a good breakfast before facing the rest of the world. The consistency is the glue that helps us stick to the habit and role out the routine every day. If you are feeling out of control or sense chaos, then add some habits and a routine in your life that can create efficiency and order to unpredictable circumstances.
