On average, it takes more than 2 months before a new behavior becomes automatic — 66 days to be exact. In other words, if you want to set your expectations appropriately, the truth is that it will probably take you two months + to build a new behavior into your life. Embracing longer timelines can help us realize that habits are a process and not an event. All of the 14 day detoxes or 7 minute abs hype can make it really easy to think, “Oh, I'll just do this and it'll be done.” But habits never work that way. You have to embrace the process. You have to commit to the system.
