Getting into a habit - First rule in perseverance

Have you ever heard someone say it takes 21 days to get into a new habit or break down an old one? Well, they are right. However, studies show that you are eight times more likely to succeed in creating a new habit if you do the action (habit) for four consecutive days.

Example: If you want to get into the habit of exercising regularly, start by going to the gym for four consecutive days. Don’t skip a day. After the four days, you may skip a day, but persevere for the first four. You are now eight times more likely to create a habit of exercising regularly!
