However, what books and podcasts didn't tell me is the fact that building habits starts with building trust in yourself.
Shifting thinking from factors beyond our control ('I'm too stupid for this') to what we can influence ('I'll start with what I can do') was crucial for achieving long-term goals.
Every time we carry out a task we have committed to, we gain trust points, i.e. self-confidence, forming a strong foundation for long-term habits.
Habit formation varies individually; a study showed forming a walk habit after lunch ranged from 18 to 244 days. Habit measurement depends on reduced limbic friction, making activities easier over time.
