Entangled neurotransmitters?


Why is it that we know what we should do, but don't do what we know?

I mean, how can we do what we know we should not, and at the same time
have a huge problem with procrastination - which is basically a problem of
not doing things we know we should do?

Are we a bit entangled yet?

Well, what Im trying to wonder about today is this:
There are all those bad-bad things we do every day and every minute, knowing that it will have a negative impact on our general well-being (junk food, alcohol, cigarettes, too much coffee, too little water, you name yours).
And then we have these heavenly divine good things: quality time with ourselves and beloved ones, nutritious foods and drinks, a day without TV, again, you name it.

So how come we can do the bad things without a blink of an eye, but need "at least 3 weeks to establish a new habit" for those good ones?
There must be something seriously wrong with our programming.
