Day 21 (Mindset Challenge): "It Takes 21 Days to Make (Or Break) A Habit?"

It takes approximately 21 days to make or break a new habit, when it comes to minds and behaviors. A good reference book is by "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People," by Stephen Covey.

When you implement daily routines into smaller, realistic and achievable goals, you gradually overtime start to see changes. More so, when you are consistent with your habits.

The toughest challenge is your mindset, and you also have to be willing and open to the change and in making yourself accountable.

Overtime, your daily routines will compound into being able to achieve greater goals. Your life going forward become mentally much easier as you continually challenge yourself to start overcoming self-limiting beliefs and self-sabotage. A good reference books the "Compound Effect," by Darren Hardy and "10X," Rule by Grant Cardone.

Breaking into new habits, helps to improve your well-being as well; mindset wise, or physically. This is all depending on the challenge you choose to embrace. In terms of mindset, you start to develop confidence and self-belief in the ability to achieve intended life vision goals regardless of your personal circumstances and external influences.

Moreover, moving beyond just setting yearly goals only for the goals to gather dust. When you set daily consistent habits, this becomes your lifestyle. You do not need a yearly calendar to remind you. You live in your best sense of self (through self-awareness).

Practicing daily affirmations, gratitude and valuing life in the present helps, it is worthwhile and will pay off in the long term.
