You really want to make this change, right? Maybe you’ve tried before, and it hasn’t worked. Now you feel stuck.  If you’re ready to step 

up to the plate again you may want to consider this.

I’m about to describe a dependable, NASA researched process for shifting a behavioral habit for good, once and for all! It all has to do with your daily habits.

NASA’s Research

Some time ago NASA was researching how its astronauts would deal without gravity, particularly with being upside down and the stress incurred on the body in space.

As part of this research, NASA had a bunch of its astronauts wear special convex lens goggles—goggles that made their world look upside down. These goggles basically inverted their whole world. They were required to wear their goggles 24/7 for 30 consecutive days.

What they discovered was absolutely amazing.

The first couple weeks were tough. Astronauts reported a variety of symptoms including, digestive issues, vertigo, high blood pressure, and a variety of other symptoms considered “not normal”. To say the least, there was lots of stress.

Amazing Part

Between the 25th and 30th day they saw “the shift”. Every astronaut’s world looked the right way up. Their brains created fresh neural pathways that turned the upside-down image that came to their eye, the right way up. Their brains helped them function more effectively!

Then NASA repeated the experiment with a slight change. This time some of the astronauts took the goggles off for a short period of time partway through the experiment. When they put the goggles back on and left them on until the 30th day, their worlds were still upside down, but when they continued on, at 26-30 consecutive days wearing the goggles, the same thing happened – everything was suddenly right side up again.

What the scientists learned from these experiments is that the brain requires approximately 30 uninterrupted days for new neural connections to form – for new habits to form.

Just breaking the continuity of the new “habit” once for only 24 hours, put the astronauts back to square one.

So, it doesn’t matter what it is!

 It takes an uninterrupted period of up to 30-days to reprogram your unconscious mind and develop a new habit. This can apply to thought, posture, diet, and exercise!
