I love the phrase "habit's haze", that's absolutely how it feels to sink into habitual behaviour. And I agree that meditation and prolonged exercise are the opposite of that feeling, like reconnecting with the inner light of discipline (or will) that dispels the haze.
Also, I'm totally gonna have Creep by Radiohead stuck in my head all day now. The one song that always seems to come into my head uninvited, for some reason I can't explain, is Death to All But Metal by Steel Panther, which is a song I neither like nor have ever intentionally listened to in my life. I don't even think I've heard it in passing in over ten years at this point but it's taken up permanent lodging in there it seems.
Thanks for the comment Jacob! Sorry for infecting you with the “Creep” virus. I’ll have to check out that Steel Panther track; maybe it’ll be added to my mental rotation, lol.

I wouldn't recommend it, haha!
