A practice is an intentional recurrent action that builds and maintains capability. A practice is the antidote to habituality. Instead of being mindless, thoughtless, effortless and automatic, practices are mindful, choiceful, effortful and intentional.

A habit happens to you, a practice is performed by you.

Habits take us where we have always been. Practices take us to the new places we want to live in.
