I've been able to change a bit by being conscious of something. For example I've more or less stopped hanging out with people who irritate or depress me. But then I guess that's not so much of a habit as a choice. Habits are nearly impossible. And things like "love that person more" is silly because you can't force yourself to love someone more or less than you already do. Or can you? Also, things like keeping your burn rate low is really not a choice for most of us. We burn out because that's the way we are
