Wendy L. Walsh Instagram – Changing an ingrained, automatic habit involves becoming mindful of the triggers and rewards of the old habit and replacing those triggers with new “cues” for positive behavior, combined with frequent rewards.
This is how the brain learns a new reward system and the new behavior eventually becomes automatic.
Be patient. Falling off the wagon isn’t the end of change. It’s an important step where you learn that certain situations or people make you vulnerable to a setback. Now you have a new strategy. Avoid those situations!
Research has shown that it takes on average, about 66 days to establish a new habit. Go easy on yourself. Three steps forward. One step back. You’ve got this. | Posted on 03/Jan/2024 06:52:48
