21 days to form a good habit

About 90% of our activities are habits. Habits are routine activites which are practiced enough so that they can be done without conscious thinking. The quality of our life depends mainly on the quality of our habits. So it is important to form good habits for a fulfilling life. Anything we repeatedly do will become a habit. When an activity is repeated enough, it will be stored as physical connections in brain. So it will become permanent and can be performed without thinking. It is observed that it will take 21 days to form a habit, that is if you repeat a routine over a period of 21 days it will become a part of neurology. Now challenge yourself to form a good habit like exercising or reading books. Challenge yourself to follow through for at least 21 days and observe what happens.
