Creating new habits takes time and effort from "summary" of The Habit by Susan Morse
Forming new habits is a process that requires dedication and consistency. It is not something that happens overnight, but rather through continual effort and practice. Changing our behavior patterns takes time, as our brains need to adapt to the new routine and make it a natural part of our daily lives. Despite our best intentions, slipping back into old habits is a common occurrence, and it is crucial to be patient with ourselves as we work towards creating lasting change. When we commit to forming new habits, we must be willing to put in the necessary time and effort. It is not always easy, and there will be obstacles along the way that may tempt us to give up. However, it is essential to stay focused on our goals and remind ourselves of the reasons why we wanted to make a change in the first place. By staying motivated and persistent, we can overcome challenges and continue to progress towards our desired habits. Consistency is key when it comes to creating new habits. Doing something repeatedly helps reinforce the behavior and make it more automatic over time. This requires establishing a routine and sticking to it, even when faced with distractions or setbacks. By incorporating our new habits into our daily lives consistently, they will eventually become second nature to us, and we will no longer have to exert as much effort to maintain them. It is essential to approach the process of forming new habits with a growth mindset. This means being open to learning and growing throughout the journey, rather than expecting instant results. Change does not happen overnight, and it is normal to experience setbacks along the way. By viewing challenges as opportunities for growth and learning, we can stay resilient and continue to move forward in our habit-forming process.- Creating new habits is a gradual process that requires time, effort, and dedication. By staying committed, consistent, and open to growth, we can successfully establish lasting changes in our behavior patterns. While the journey may be challenging at times, the rewards of forming new habits that align with our goals and values are well worth the effort.
