Whoever said it takes 21 days to form a new habit probably lied. I have tried to keep up with habits for that long and afterward, I fell off. Another research said it takes 66 days, well, maybe, I haven't lasted that long to know.
I wish habits were easily acquired in an instant without having to put in the work. Imagine my body automatically doing things I want without having to give it much thought, now that is groundbreaking.
Assume you could acquire a single habit overnight, what would it be and why would you like to have it. How would it impact your life, be of benefit or add value and is there a reason you want that particular habit but don't yet have it?
Last year, I discovered how effective yoga was for me. It is less draining than gym workouts and did well for my metabolism, unlike those heavy gym activities. But like going to the gym, it requires will-power to roll out my mat every day.
My quality of life will improve if I suddenly acquire a habit of doing yoga at least 4 times a week. I don't have to stare at the ceiling every morning contemplating if I should yoga in the morning or in the evening and then end up not doing it at all.
My overall health will benefit from frequently doing yoga and I will feel way better. Hormones will be better regulated and that will be good for my anxiety. It is also very relaxing and a good time to meditate. I always feel like I'm going to the deepest parts of my mind and having conversations with myself.
There are several things I could do to get back to yoga again and do it out of habit. Be diligent, manage my time better, and sleep earlier. But it'd be way cooler if I suddenly became a Yogi without much effort.
