So if you are in a bad habit and you want to break the loop, you can take a break from that habit just for 3 days and you will see that the pattern has started breaking. And this works the other way around as well. So if you are in a habit which is at the mercy of getting broken and it might, you know, make you more unproductive, you may not want to take a break from that habit for more than 2 days. So for example, if you have to work out You work out consistently, but if you are taking a break, ensure that you do not take more than 2 days break for your workouts so that on 3rd day you can bounce back to your regular habit. Because if you take 3 days break, you might start breaking the pattern of consistency over there. So yes, be consistent and be mindful that if you have to break a habit, take a break of more than 2 days. If you have to keep a habit intact, don't take more than 2 days break. See if this works for you and let me know in comments if it did. Take care, all the best.
