You have given few details about habits. In my view, Habits are to be considered as an attire to the self. Be aware and be convinced that this is only an attire.
It is very difficult to say a status " living without an habit" but you can always say "living without clinging to an habit."
The cycle of habit begins with a deep Interset ---emerges as desire --- pursue into Hobby --- regular practise --- trend as Habits --- part of the Charecter -- and finally culminates to VASANA - essence of it carried to even next birth.
Just by reading a advaita book and to say One should go beyond habits will create utter confusion and no clarity as well no solution also in that.
In my humble view, YAMAs and NIYAMAs are fundas. One should get real mastery over Observences and Prohibitions as laid down by shastras. Then other practises can be pursued.
Each one of us have our own beatiful peacock feather, allow it to spread and enjoy the joy and impart the delightness to others also but imitation will not work.
No habits means - " not without any habits" other words, No identity or clinging to the habits. If you deny this then there cannot be any vyavahara in the creation.
How much effort is required for a flower to blossom in the morning when the sun's rays strike at it? Similarly to droop its petals in the evening how much effort does the flower gives? Understand the smooth and harmonious transition of Flower's acceptance for this routine function every day. It is absolutely effortless and fully oriented with the rules of the nature. If this is true, let us also try to emulate the flower for the beginning and ending of our each day.
