Day 40: Patience
“That's why, patience is the key ingredient of this process”
The first spark fades in weeks. Patience carries you through the long middle.
Habits took a median of 66 days to plateau in Lally's study, with a range of 18 to 254 days. Some take far longer than 45. That isn't failure; it's how habits form. Patience here means expecting the slow middle and continuing anyway.
