I've always heard it takes about 30 days of repetition for something to become a habit. You can imagine how frustrated I was when I hit day 30 of training, back in December, and didn't quite feel the momentum kicking in.
So here I am now on day 150... finally realizing the dream of habituation. Looking back I just wish I hadn't had the expectation that it would have/should have come sooner. It made me feel like it wasn't going to come at all.
But it did come. It just took me a little longer. OK, five times longer! But now that my habit has manifested, I'm confident it will be here for a while. Hard won and longstanding. That's how I like my healthy habits.
