Books makes life sound like a bed of roses! Not all books though, for example the one I am reading these days (reading it for the 3rd time!) "Mindset" by Dr. Carol Dweck. This book is just awesome. One of the finest books to come out of the self-help genre in years. Highly recommended.  Thanks for reading my post! True. Books makes life sound like a bed of roses!

Really it doesn't work that ways because of genetics, external factors etc. A good post!

Take driving for example. Initially it's a struggle. One has to consciously remind himself/herself about the various techniques and maneuvers that go into driving a car. But few weeks later, it becomes a habit. It becomes something we don't have to consciously think about every time we hit the accelerator. They call it the stage of "Unconscious Competence" - That's when we do things on auto-pilot, habitually. I had a look at loopchange.com, seems like a tool I can really make use of!

Through my own experiences, I believe many habits can be 'mostly' ingrained within 21 days, but like you, I believe that doing it "mindfully" is the key.  There is a website: http://www.loopchange.com that offers a free tool to help people be mindful of their habit, gets them encouragement and some accountability.  Changing or forming a habit is hard.  It requires commitment (and other things).  But there are tools out there that can help you through the process.  Good write up!  The only “scientific” evidence I’ve ever found is in this study:  http://eprints.ucl.ac.uk/16751/
