I’ve stopped eating sweets.
The first month
was rough.
I had cravings for sweets
every day,
all day.
I had the shakes.
I was super grumpy.
And I’d reach for sweets
out of habit.
After a month,
my body AND my mind
adjusted.
We’ve all heard
it takes
21 days to form
a new habit.
That number is based
on…
nothing.
No valid research.
Scientists say
it can take
anywhere from 18 days
to 254 days
to form a new habit.
Give yourself grace
if it takes a while
to form a new habit.
One of the reasons
I’ve posted here
on clientk
(and before that RoadToForbes)
for decades
is…
it is dang easy.
I don’t have graphics
to search for.
I don’t have thousands
of words
to write.
I drop a thought,
likely linked
to some research
I have already done
for another project
and I’m done.
When setting up a task
or a process
or a system
or, heck, a business,
make it as easy as possible
to do, to use, to maintain.
That will increase
the probability
it will continue
to exist.
