Your Brain Rewires in 3 Stages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In The 5 AM Club<\/a>, <\/em>Robin Sharma contends that it takes around 66 days to build a new neural pathway. During this period, you\u2019ll travel through three 22-day stages on the way to automaticity: deconstruction, installation, and integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Sharma cites research from the University College London that habit formation<\/a> takes around 66 days, but it\u2019s important to note that this is the average<\/em> based on the study<\/a>; results from person to person varied from 18 to 254 days.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stage 1: Deconstruction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To rewire your brain and ingrain a new way of life, Sharma says your old way of life must cease. During the deconstruction phase, you\u2019ll feel your old self begin to slip away. This sensation will stimulate your Ancient Brain<\/a> to thwart your progress. This stage is where courage and willpower will help you escape your brain\u2019s efforts to scare you off with fear and doubt.<\/strong> If you remain disciplined in your practice, says Sharma, you\u2019ll eventually succeed in moving to the next stage.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stage 2: Installation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now that you\u2019ve successfully erased your old patterns from your brain, the work of rebuilding begins. Sharma explains that your army of neurons will work overtime to construct your new pathway brick by brick over the next 22 days. Because of the energy required, the rest of your faculties will suffer. You may feel out of control, anxious, or confused, and you\u2019ll want to quit, but these feelings are part of the struggle required to transform. Realize that you\u2019re far along the path, and stick with the practice to get to the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Right Way to Break and Build Habits<\/strong>

When trying to overcome ingrained behaviors, you might keep reminding yourself what not<\/em> to do, but research suggests focusing on the forbidden behaviors makes it harder to break old habits and build new ones. In one study, researchers looked at how consciously suppressing an old habit<\/a> affected building a new one. While all the participants learned the new habit, those who were told to suppress the old habit didn\u2019t unlearn it\u2014in fact, the old habit got even stronger.

The researchers suggest that instead of forcing yourself to break an old habit, you can try these tactics instead:

\u2022 Make it easier to build a new habit by creating systems that support it.

\u2022 Find a role model\u2014seeing someone else consistently perform a desired behavior can encourage you to build that habit.

\u2022 Adopt a growth mindset<\/a>, or the belief that you can improve through effort and learning.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Stage 3: Integration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to Sharma, the final 22 days are when the magic happens. You\u2019ve pushed out of your comfort zone and created a new pattern of behavior. Each day you continue your practice, you pave the new neural pathway to cement the behavior. <\/strong>When you reach the end, your new behavior will have become automatic, and you\u2019ll no longer have to think about it. You\u2019ll be fully immersed in your new way of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Though Sharma\u2019s discussion implies a relatively smooth and predictable process of habit formation, it\u2019s normal to encounter setbacks as you incorporate new habits into your life. Punishing yourself for those setbacks can only undermine your motivation and increase stress, making the process even harder. On the other hand, having self-compassion<\/a> can help you get over lapses\u2014for example, research suggests that being kind to yourself<\/a> can help support behavior changes when it comes to health.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
