In this episode, I explore the common belief that habits can be formed in just 21 days, emphasizing the significant role of DNA and genetics. It's not merely a matter of time; our genetic makeup is a crucial factor. For some, quitting addictions is easy, while for others, it's a struggle due to inherited traits. Our senses and memories, inherently imperfect, are essential in how we process experiences. Neural pathways and consistent actions are vital in habit formation, influencing our subconscious where 40,000 data points lie. These points affect our personality, potential for addiction, and much more. By understanding this complex mechanism, we can shape beneficial habits for a more fulfilling life.
