Thank you everyone for their responses. I am willing to do whatever it takes to develop new habits but I want to know how long is enough? Like I said, even going on for 6-8 months has not been enough for me. Does that mean that I have too much resistance, too much negativity against new habits? Too set in my old ways?
21 days or 30 days has not been working for me. It actually never worked for me and I stuck to many many different things religiously.
I am beginning to seriously think that unless one sees a benefit from a habit, no matter how long they stick to it, they'll fall back into their old patterns.
If I workout for 30 days and I see results and am really happy then most likely I'll continue and would want to continue but if on the other hand if I keep working out and I see no change, then the motivation goes down and mind starts to think "what's the point? why am I going through all this trouble?" |
