🤔How long does it take to form a new habit?
How long do you think that a habit would take to form?
Many gurus or self-help folks will tell you that it only takes 21 days to form a habit.
But that is not totally true! it depends.
it depends on the habit.
Maxwell Maltz is a plastic surgeon in the 1950s and he sees a pattern on their patient where he let's say perform any face surgery he found that it takes 21 days to get the new face.
After that he started writing about it, he wrote a book about it also called psycho cybernetics.
But that is not totally true.
Research done by Phillippa Lally from the university college of London found that it takes 18 to 254 days to form a habit.
for small habit like drinking a glass of water it takes 18-20 days to form and go to the zone of automaticity ( where the habit form and become automatic or subconscious)
He took 96 volunteers to examine the habit they choose to continue doing for 12 weeks after that he found that if you miss one day or didn't perform the habit, it does affect the habit formation.
That's one of the big misconceptions people have that you have to do every day to form a habit.
