The way we learn to do things at a younger age and through our development become the soft, easy, automatic path.
And when you decide that you want to change, you again are now fighting against the built-in physical mechanism.
And I try to explain that to people because so many people get disturbed or anxious or
resentful, upset, that changing their habits gets hard.
And then they read a book like Atomic Habits that says, hey, you know, just make the hard things easier, make the easy things harder, connect to an identity of somebody who wants to change and go out there and do it.
And they try and they fail.
What I try to explain to a lot of people is odds are you will fail multiple times in trying to recreate a new route through your jungle.
That's okay.
Next time, get back up, remake the commitment to try to go down that new path.
Over time, you can forge another new path, number one.
Number two, there was a massive disservice done to us a couple of decades ago when this idea of a 21-day habit change thing became a reality.
I think that's complete BS.
You don't change a habit in 21 days.
I don't know who picked that fricking number.
It's like picked out of a hat.
The number of days it takes to change a habit is totally variable.
You can start it as early as 20 some, 30 days, 40 days, like that's on the lowest end.
It can go up to a year or more.
The average seems to be more around 65, 70, 75 days.
And if you think about that, that's two and a half months of work on something to change.
