How long do new habits really take?
21 days? Guess again.
Research has shown that it takes on average much longer than that.
But the real problem is impatience.
We expect our new habits or change or activities that we are working on to be perfect immediately.
We get impatient when we don't see results or evidence that things are working quickly.
And when that happens we stop working on the habit because we think it's not working instead of pushing through a little longer.
In this episode, I'm going to share the truth about how long it takes to form a new habit and what this can mean about our expectations of ourselves to see results quickly.
