It only takes 3 days in a row via /r/gratitude

I’m grateful that I know that it takes my body 3 days to either get used to a new habit or to drop an old one. When I start a new workout I know that the first three days are the hardest and then the muscle aches go away. When I need to reset my taste buds it takes 3 days without any seasonings on my food for things to start tasting different again. When I need to drop the habit of chewing gum it will take me 3 days to let go of the urge to chew. When I quit shopping online it took 3 days for my mind to understand that that’s not what I’m doing in my free time anymore. When I started my gratitude practice it took three days for me to feel the pattern set in and for me to start looking for things to be grateful for throughout my day. It only takes three days in a row of doing or not doing something for it to be added to or subtracted from my mental routine checklist. 3 days is a drop in the bucket. Only 3 days. I’m grateful that I have noticed this pattern.
