Popular belief is that it takes 21 days to make a (new) habit, so being that it's now the 23rd of January all of us new year revolutionists should be safe, right?

Actually, 21 days is the minimum amount of time it can take to create a new habit. New habits can take anywhere from 2 to 8 months to feel "normal" and even then, it depends on how hard the new task is and the personality of the person wanting to achieve it. I'm not here to bring anyone down because hey, I have some lofty goals for myself this year, too! This is just your 21+ day reminder that you're doing awesome and to keep going! You are part of the 26% who have stuck with their resolutions so keep going you totally got this! Thursday, January 23, 2020
