The Miracle Morning: The Not-So-Obvious Secret Guaranteed to Transform Your Life (Before 8AM)

Addicted To The Old: Change Is Painful
Yes,  we  are,  at  some  level,  addicted  to  our  habits.  Whether
psychologically  or  physically,  once  a  habit  has  been  reinforced
through enough repetition, it can be very difficult to change. That is,
if you don’t have an effective, proven strategy.
One of the primary reasons most people fail to create and sustain
new habits is because they don’t know what to expect, and they don’t
have a winning strategy.
How Long Does It Really Take To Form A New Habit?
Depending on the article you read or which expert you listen to,
you’ll hear compelling evidence that it takes anywhere from a single
hypnosis session, 21 days, or even up to three months to incorporate a
new habit into your life—or get rid of an old one.
The popular 21-day myth may come from the 1960 book Psycho-
Cybernetics: A New Way To Get More Living Out of Lif e. Written by
cosmetic  surgeon  Dr.  Maxwell  Maltz,  he  found  that  amputees  took,
on  average,  21  days  to  adjust  to  the  loss  of  a  limb.  He  argued  that
people take 21 days to adjust to any major life changes. Some would
argue that how long it takes for a habit to become truly automatic also
depends on the difficulty of the habit.
My  personal  experience  and  the  real-world  results  I’ve  seen
working  with  hundreds  of  coaching  clients  has  led  me  to  the
conclusion that you can change any habit in 30 days, if you have the
right  strategy.  The  problem  is,  most  people  don’t  have  any  strategy,
let  alone  the  right  one.  So,  year  after  year,  they  lose  confidence  in
themselves and their ability to improve, as failed attempt after failed
attempt piles up and knocks them down. Something has to change.

How can you become a master of your habits? How can you take
complete  control  of  your  life—and  your  future—by  learning  how  to
identify,  implement,  and  sustain  any  positive  habit  you  want,  and
permanently  remove  any  negative  habit?  You’re  about  to  learn  the
right strategy, one most people know nothing about.
One  of  the  biggest  obstacles  preventing  most  people  from
implementing  and  sustaining  positive  habits  is  that  they  don’t  have
the  right  strategy.  They  don’t  know  what  to  expect  and  aren’t
prepared  to  overcome  the  mental  and  emotional  challenges  that  are
