It's definitely an interesting topic. I deliver leaflets for my local political party and when I do so I always go the same way. It's not really for a specific reason, but that's the way I've always done it. I am capable of change. I don't specifically mean my delivery route, but how that would apply to other avenues in life. I appreciate the thoughtful insight. I enjoyed the beach path metaphor.

Yeah super interesting - the brain is literally wired to conserve energy in order to keep us alive - that's why we often go into "autopilot" - because our brain is reducing our cognitive load. So it's always easier for it to take the path most well travelled - whether that's physically or mentally!
