Just like Meditation or yoga, healthy habits are formed by intention and practice.

As anyone knows who has ever tried a new diet, it is easier to commit to a healthy-eating plan and even easier to lose steam or willpower and ditch your resolve after a few weeks or even days. That is because most of us don’t give our new, healthy habits the time they need to become automatic.

When researchers surveyed people who were trying to embrace a new habit over a 12 week period, they found that, on average, it took 66 days for a new behavior to stick. Of course, everyone is different and some formed their new habit in 18 days, but most needed 254 days.

The long and short of it is that it doesn’t happen overnight for anyone.

So many of us give up on new habits we are trying to establish because we are looking for instant gratification. The hard truth is that creating new, healthy behaviors can take just as mush time, energy and effort as breaking bad ones. But the work doesn’t have to feel like drudgery. In fact, a mindful approach can help you enjoy the process of forming a healthy eating habit, whether your goal is to choose veggies over refined carbs to lose weight, to slow down to enjoy mealtime, or to eliminate meat to align with your ethics.

If you have ever struggled with creating a new healthy habit in your diet, Nutrition coaching might be for you.
