I tend to focus on habits that aid me in the long term achievement of over-arching goals. Around age 11 I went on a veritable habit building spree, basically adopting whatever habits seemed most beneficial to my health and interaction with the world around me, which at the time meant sitting/standing up straight, making eye contact, smiling, lifting weights 2-3 times per week, stretching, eating lots of protein, drinking plenty of water, taking a book with me everywhere and reading whenever a spare moment presented itself.

More recent habits would be spending most of my time out among people (right now I'm sitting outside on the green space of the local grocery coop), riding my bicycle for most daily errands, reading at least 2-3 books per week in addition to whatever school work I have, practicing martial arts daily, and spending plenty of time out in the sun (this is generally satisfied by how I perform the above habits). A new habit will likely be to integrate Parkour into my weekly routine. Another is regular fasting. In my early teens I started fasting one day per week, and now that I'm done growing I fast 2 days per week. Fasting has many of the same benefits of Caloric Restriction (google intermittent fasting), without the drastic weight loss. Plus I enjoy the mental state that accompanies it.
