Sichgewöhnen, self-habituating

The whole question of self-habituating [Sichgewöhnen] must be seen from the look of the possibility [Möglichkeit  ] on which appropriation [Aneignung  ] depends. It depends on being-resolved [Entschlossensein] at each moment, and on the appropriating of the moment [Aneignen des Augenblicks]. Aristotle  ’s saying “on the basis of acting-frequently” [Öfter-Handeln  ] is also to be understood in this way. Here, this acting-frequently does not   mean often in the sense of a duration [Dauer], such that it would have ultimately become routine [Routine] after a determinate amount of time. Rather, it is related to πρᾶξις   as προαίρεσις  : continual-repeating [Immer-Wiederholen] of προαίρεσις. The frequently is, precisely, that which characterizes the temporality [Zeitlichkeit  ] of being-there. Aristotle cannot say ἀεί insofar as human being-there does not so comport itself constantly and always. It can constantly be otherwise. The always [Immer] of a being [Seiende  ] like being-there is the frequently of repetition [Öfter der Wiederholung  ]. It is the being-there of human beings, as determined by historicality [Geschichtlichkeit  ], to see entirely different time-contexts [Zeitzusammenhänge] in relation to which the remaining time-determinations [Zeitbestimmungen] break down.
