Which is correct? "build a new habit" or "make a new habit" or create a new habit? [closed]
Solution 1:
Comparing the frequency of use of develop the habit (which may show intention or not) with build, make, create ... or adopt the new habit shows that the former is by far the most idiomatic. [Google ngrams]
This collocational preference is true with the more obviously intentional development encouraged by the string 'you should develop the habit' ( ... form ... / ... adopt ...). [Google 5grams].
