So much has changed since the last time I published something on this blog. It is an oft repeated statement , Time Flies !! and indeed it has. So much has changed , personally , professionally and of course for all of us in general with a straight out of a sci-fi movie experience that all of us are witnessing till date. Seems like a movie we are all a part of with no end in sight !!
As per a research by llippa Lally a health psychology researcher at University College, London which was published in the European Journal of Social Psychology , it takes an average of 66 days for a new behaviour to become a habit
Delving a bit more , the study says that on an average, it takes more than 2 months before a new behaviour becomes automatic — 66 days to be exact. And how long it takes a new habit to form can vary widely depending on the behaviour, the person, and the circumstances. In Lally's study, it took anywhere from 18 days to 254 days for people to form a new habit.
Its 237 days today since the lockdown and that effectively means that almost all of us have most likely formed a habit of the new normal.
And that got me thinking , now that I have accepted and am living this new normal , what are the things that I love to do.
Writing topped that list. Nothing gives me more joy than putting pen to paper , or in this case using the keyboard to channelize what I am thinking
So that's exactly what I have started to do and I hope to keep doing that on a regular basis now , so that it does become a habit in 66 days !!
