It’s easy to forget how far we’ve come when we’re always looking at how far we’ve got to go. Training ourselves to appreciate where we are now and what we can do now, can help keep us on the path.

According to research by Phillipa Lally and team (University College London, 2009) in the European Journal of Psychology, it takes on average around 66 days for a new habit to be formed and become automatic (not 21 days, a popular misconception)

Things to consider when evaluating if a new habit has been formed:  

·        You are consistent…

·        Performing the behaviour moves you closer to your ideal vision of you or your life...

·        It doesn’t seem hard, or you don't need willpower to do it...

·        It feels weird if you don’t do it...

·        You feel good and proud in doing it...
