Automatic Rituals?

Is there point where rituals become automatic? For example, every Wednesday night you put on your lime green bowling shirt and perform a ritual before you go out dancing, drinking or whatever you do in a lime green bowling shirt. Every time the ritual is done exactly the same. Would it eventually get to the point that when you put on the lime green bowling shirt, you automatically perform said ritual?

Absolutly! There are simple rituals that I have done everyday (or almost) and now they are done seemingly before I even begin. It is as if my sub-concious just took them over and they are like breathing or pumping blood.

There is, of course, a threat of the ritual losing effectiveness if one does it without thought behind the action. This is true wheter you are doing it the first time or the thousandth time, but it seems to crop up in discussion whenever people discuss repeating the same ritual.
