Habit’s relation to what one has resists infinite regress of having

Evidence

‘Adaptation’ is the proper term for this process of development and actualization. In this context it is easy to see why habit can be defined as a general phenomenon of biological and even physical adaptation, consisting in the fact that a being, once it has experienced for the first time some kind of modification, will preserve that modification so that even if the action is repeated or continued, there will be no additional modification like the first one. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 502 (#expands, via linked claim)
