Why does it take time to change?

The reality is that for a majority of people changing habits that have been learnt over a lifetime does not happen instantly, although in some cases this is possible if they recognise that those habits are personally damaging.

The good news is that small changes can have a major impact and we have a lot of evidence where people have changed one habit and moved quickly from a negative fixed mindset to one where they feel positive about life and have improved their work performance – and its not forced, its done willingly.Some habits do take longer to change. Bad habits can be stopped immediately if a person chooses to do so.

Research informs us you can change overnight but that it is longer for those deeply ingrained habits which can take up to 3 months. But let’s face it, what’s 3 months in the bigger picture.
