The Science of Habit Formation

Research shows that habits form through a neurological loop consisting of three parts: cue (trigger), routine (behavior), and reward (benefit). Understanding your personal habit-forming tendencies can help you design more effective strategies for building lasting positive habits.

Studies indicate it takes an average of 66 days (not just 21 days as commonly believed) for a new behavior to become automatic, with a range of 18-254 days depending on the person and habit complexity.
