The least amount of resistance will allow you to reinforce positive habits like free flow. BE PATIENT: Building new habits takes time. Research suggests it can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months for a behavior to be reinforced and become automatic. it can take an average of about 66 days for a new habit to become automatic.
