52 Small Changes for a Healthier, Happier You!

You may have heard that it takes 18 days to make a change. Or maybe you've heard 21 or 28 days.  In reality, the amount of time required to make a lasting change is highly individualistic and depends on the person, the change, and the circumstances.

University College London psychologist Phillippa Lally conducted a study that looked at this very subject.  She found that individuals who were trying to learn new habits, such as eating fruit on a daily basis, took an average of 66 days before the behavior had become automatic.  In other words, it took subjects and average of 91/2 weeks to make lasting and permanent change.  The range, however, included everything from a short 18 days to make change to a grueling 245 days.  Al thought his may sound discouraging, I bring this up simply to highlight my point: change takes time!
