According to research, it takes around 66 days for any habit to become automatic. That said, these 66 days are divided into three stages.
Stage one is destruction, where we destroy our old habits and try to implement a new one.
The following 22 days are part of the installation stage. This is the most challenging phase of all three. Installation is where we attempt to install this habit into our lives. Next, we deal with how the habit impacts and is impacted by the rest of our habits.
The last stage is integration. Integration is where the habits slowly become more like an automatic response.
