> how powerful and addictive routine habit is.

This applies to many things universally. If you want to change something about yourself, your health, weight, addictions, behaviors, you have to change your habits, possibly even your social circles.

It is not about doing something for 'n' days, you reach the goal, and hooray it's over. If you want to stay fit, you'll have to permanently do things that contribute to fitness. If you want to change your weight, you need to change your diet permanently *without returning* to the origin state.

And if there is something you want to change, but are not willing to change your habits permanently, then it's just temporary and will fall back.

Habits are the things you do repeatedly. You need to stop doing the bad things again and again and again - it's that simple. But we all *know* it's that simple conceptually, the difficulty is doing it.

You will not get around having to muster up willpower and determination for it. You *must* want to do it and seek to do the new habits. But do it in a way where it's sustainable - you don't need to go 0 to 100 immediately. If you make it too unpleasant for you, it becomes harder. And if it's too hard, you may stop. If you stop, you go back to 0.

Do not muster up a burst of energy to do it and then stop once you reached your goal. That's not how it works.

Everyone's brain takes about 20 days to totally accept a behavioral change so it becomes a new normal part of daily routine.

That's how habits start and how everyone's brains work.
