A NEW RHYTHM
If you are working on a process of getting and being better in the areas of your life that are most important to you, it’s important to first make space in your current way of life. Adding on to your schedule is not a pathway to success. Replacing old way with new ways is the key. A new rhythm.
Studies show that a new habit takes a minimum of 21 days to be established. For those with addictions, it can take 10 times that number of days. If you are addicted to your current way of operating, it may have reached the point that it has moved from a habit into an addiction that is compulsively important to you. Whether a habit or addiction, we need to think about how to make your new goals and dreams succeed.
