Free will?

Do we exercise free-will when we live, defaulting to our emotions and reactions?

When I light up a stick, to respond to the external stress factors - am i exercising free-will?

When I frown in disagreement and raise my voice in displeasure - am i exercising free-will?

When I placate, and the run from conflict - am I exercising free-will?

When I allow my poor habits, one that I disagree with, to surface, instead of enabling my rational mind to process and respond, I am exercising free-will, in that I enabled it, and allowed poor habits to form.
Yet - I'm also inclined to say I am not exercising free-will, in that I have not chosen to enable my rational mind to consciously process and respond.
