“Give it a month”. I can still hear my grandma telling me that it takes a month to create a habit and I should not quit doing something for at least one month. Scientists and researchers do not seem to agree with grandma. Habits form within 21 to 254 days to become a habit. The sweet spot seemed to be 66 days. The study seems interesting and at the end of it what seemed to mater a lot was mindset.
We first make our habits, and then our habits make us.

Here in the United States and throughout much of Europe we are entering the Holiday season. We will experience thanksgiving, followed by xmas and conclude with New Years. I love making New Years resolutions. It is so fun to see the new year and decide who I want to be and how I plan to get there. I feel young and fresh and hopeful. New Year resolutions are great. You are resolving to be a better you!
This 2024 I plan on approaching resolutions as new habits. I want to create new good habits that will make me a better person. I am not sure what those habits will and should be just yet but I have the holiday season to figure that out. I will keep you posted and I wish you luck on finding good new habits for yourself in 2024.
Happy Holidays!!
