I'd love to get your best advice to create a new habit.
Whether it's working out, meditating regularly, or just getting those 10.000 steps in every day (sigh), what are your best tips to making it a habit?

I've heard it takes 21 days for your body to realize a new habit or routine, but I guess the brain can sometimes be working against you ?

Healthy Habits

A habit is a behaviour that becomes second nature over time, usually by repeating it frequently. Like skills, therefore, habits can be formed at any time in life although they tend to be easiest to take on when young because the brain is more open to generating the neural pathways necessary to make behavioural patterns stick. Of course, habits can be good and bad. As such, healthy habits are all about making new patterns of behaviour that are good for both our mental well-being as well as our physical health. Scientists reckon that the average daily repetition it takes to form a habit – healthy or otherwise – is 66 days although some people will achieve this much sooner and, others, much later. Deciding to commit to a healthy habit in the first place is the key to being able to get into them.
