21 days is all that you need to create a new habit, to convert any action in something automatic. You can convert very healthy actions, as eat more fruits or vegetables, breathe deeper or practice sport more often, into automatisms. It is just a matter of repetition.
Conditions for repetition
It is necesary to reach some conditions:
How to break a habit?
Again, motivation is the key. The habit you want to quit has to be very important for you and you have to be convinced that you want to stop it. Then, you have to start changing the way in which you are doing things.
For instance, if you want to eliminate the habit of always eating a biscuit on your way to work, the first thing to do is to choose another path to go to your job, and when you are close to the place where you are used to eat the biscuit, for example, you can put a few drops of mint essential oil on your wrists.
At that moment of changing how we do things, the brain starts generating another way so we start to disconnect the “automatic pilot”. Obviously, the first time, you will realize that you did it again, and it will be late, but little by little your atention will overtake the action. The better would be to have alternatives to make something different when it happens.
We could convert our brain into our better ally. To create healthy habits, to finish with undesirable habits, everything is possible under a short-term. You just need the adecuate motivation and repetition during at least 2 months. Enjoy it to build up a new life according to what you dream about. Are you ready to try?
