How long will it take to cultivate a good habit? British psychologists found through experiments, some insist, after 66 days, the people will be "habit into nature," into the good habit of life, no longer need to deliberately persist in .

habits

to explore the behavior of people will become a repetitive habit of the time, the United Kingdom, University College London led the study, Professor Jane Waddell conduct in-depth studies group. Study published in the recently published "European Journal of Social Psychology" on.

researchers believe that when people deliberately do not need to think and plan, but without a clear purpose to do one thing, the habit has been formed. To this end they selected 96 volunteers for a period of 84 days of the experiment.

subjects to eat in the lunch plus fruit, drink a glass of water or running 15 minutes before dinner to choose between a, and to insist on doing every day and can not relax.

the beginning of the experiment, the volunteers have to fill out the data every day, including their own sense of things done to reduce and control reduced. Researchers will map the data into a curve model.

British "Daily Telegraph" quoted on the 18th, then Waddell said: "We found that for most people, after 66 days, after adhering to a habit will develop."

different

is not all the people 66 days to develop a habit of it?

this, Waddell said: " a person is concerned, the situation will be different. But when you every day under the same conditions to do the same thing, the habit will be as natural. "

volunteers participating in the experiment, 82 people sufficient data for analysis for researchers. 62 of the data curve and the researchers in advance of the curve with the idea, of which 39 were in full compliance with.

"When people in the context of consistently doing the same thing to repeat, it will become more efficient. At the same time, this situation will become an automatic reaction to the environment - that is to say, habits have been formed, "Waddell explained.

research results also showed that although generally speaking, people in the 66 days will be to develop a habit, but in a different specific projects. For example, the more complex behavior generally require a longer time to develop; movement habits also develop eating habits than to spend more time.

study reported that 95% of people develop a habit of time in the 18-254 days between.

"bad" General

everything is hard in the beginning, in the process of cultivating a good habit That applies equally well.

Waddell advised those who just started training a good habit of the people: "In the beginning of a habit of training, the plan is very important, even in a few minutes to go before the action plan is also only do good."

cultivate good habits are important, equally important to remove bad habits. In this regard, Waddell said that the good habits and plans to rely on the environmental impact of this bad habit of relying on both equally.

had plans to correct the bad habits is very important. For example, she said, if you have a home on the habit of drinking a glass of wine, then the best in the door well before the wanted to divert attention to other things. In addition, write down the plan, at the same time read out loud to overcome the bad habit is also a good way.

is to develop good habits, whether or eliminate bad habits, perseverance is essential, but occasionally does not substantially relax the impact of habits.

group Waddell said the next goal is to study how to cultivate the habit of adhering to diet on the use.
