INTERVIEW: HOW TO BREAK / KICK A BAD HABIT?
A HABIT IS SOMETHING THAT IS SO INGRAINED IN ONE'S PSYCHE AND IS NORMALLY
DONE WITHOUT THOUGHT, THERE NEEDS TO BE A VERY STRONG FORCE TO CHANGE IT.
STUDIES SUGGEST THAT, ON AVERAGE, IT CAN TAKE ANYWHERE FROM 18 TO 254 DAYS
TO FORM A NEW HABIT. THIS WIDE RANGE REFLECTS THE DIVERSITY OF HABITS PEOPLE
MAY TRY TO DEVELOP, FROM SIMPLE TASKS LIKE DRINKING A GLASS OF WATER EACH
MORNING, TO MORE COMPLEX BEHAVIORS LIKE EXERCISING FOR 30 MINUTES EACH DAY.
