We often say – “from tomorrow I will change”, “from Monday I will adopt a new stance”. But that “kal” never comes, because change comes not just from desire, but from regular action. This thinking is the foundation of this 21 day challenge (challenge).
Why 21 days?
– Psychological research suggests that it takes about 21 days for any new behavior (habit) to become established.
– i.e. the biggest changes come from small, everyday steps, not a big instant ultra-change.
– The most important during this time is – to start, be patient, and create regularity.
What to do in this 21 day plan
Here are some of the key parts of this plan that are emphasized in the video:
- Choose just one focused change
– It is not necessary that you adopt ten new behaviors in 21 days. Choose a change you really want to make.
– As an example: waking up early in the morning, writing daily, reducing social media, etc.
Remove/make bad behaviors difficult
– old habits are often so innate that we don't even note them. Example- “scrolling on phone before sleeping” or “t.V. Applying”.
– remove them, or create a barrier for them. Such as: keeping the phone in another room before sleeping or setting a screen time limit.
Make new behavior easier
– If the new behavior seems difficult, may lose quickly. Therefore it has to be made simple.
– example: if “100 words written in the morning” to do, without thinking just get up and have the writing facility ready—Pen-paper ready, click as soon as you wake up.
– like this “to do” becomes easy and “not to do” becomes difficult.
First of all give priority
– Start the day with your change-goal. Do the work you want to change in this 21 days in the first hour.
– this “will do later throughout the day, the habit of ” ends.
Repeat, but be flexible
– if one day took flexibility-but the next day came back to regularity.
– continuity (consistency) matters as much as perfection (perfection). If 1 day is missed, try to reduce in 2 days.
What will be the benefits of this scheme?
– Your self-confidence will increase as you complete your chosen task.
– old bad habits will weaken and new support-habits will strengthen.
– you must have noticed that “I can change” not just thinking, but also taking action.
– 21 days later this new behavior can become permanent to such an extent that you make it a part of your lifestyle.
Precautions and tips
– applying more than one major change simultaneously often results in failure. So choose just one change in the beginning.
– if choose very light change— will get less motivation; Choose very heavy— will increase the fear of fatigue or defeat. Balance is better.
– falling-rising is normal in the transformation process. The slipping of a single day does not jeopardize the whole challenge.
– prepare support-arrangement: tell a friend, or create a day-to-day tracker. Sharing increases accountability.
Conclusion
This simple yet powerful 21 day phase shows you how important continuity and steps in the right direction are. When you change little by little every day, the change starts appearing on a scale with time. Follow this plan, challenge yourself, and see how your small changes take a new direction in your life.
