We all have certain habits that we repeat every day, consciously or unconsciously. In addition to routines such as brushing teeth, eating and sleeping that we need in our daily lives, there are also habits that harm us, that we do not really like to do, but that we cannot give up.<\/div>\n
Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit, says habits are not innate, we create them. According to Duhigg, our habits, which we describe as good, bad, or unimportant, begin with a psychological structure called the “habit loop”.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This cycle, which devours us from the inside, consists of three parts. First, the triggering process takes place where the behavior is transmitted to our brain. Then we perform the behavior, and in the next stage, the “reward” process takes place when the brain does not encounter an adverse situation when we perform the behavior.<\/div>\n

Smoking, nail biting, sleeping late, excessive consumption of junk food, lying\u2026 Although it is a difficult process to get rid of such habits that we repeat without realizing it, if you have a little patience, you will have taken a small step for humanity and a big step for yourself.<\/div>\n
In a study published in the European Journal of Social Psychology, Phillippa Lally and her team observed 96 people over 12 weeks to find out how long it took them to start a new habit.<\/div>\n
Participants chose a new habit and reported how automatic the behavior became each day for 12 weeks. At the end of the process, Lally analyzed the results and discovered that it took participants 66 days for a new behavior to become a habit. This means that it will take 66 days before we can replace our bad habits with good ones. For example, instead of watching TV series before going to bed, he can read a book; If you are consuming cola with your meal, you can choose water instead.<\/div>\n
Here are the 4 steps you need to go through in order to get through these 66 days with a successful result:<\/div>\n
