Wherefore putting away lying, speaking every man truth with his neighbor: for we are members one of another. Be blessed.

My opinion is that we need to make 2 good habits: "Make praise your habit." (Psalm 64:10) and "Form the habit of justice." (Psalm 106:3) On average, it takes more than 2 months before a new behavior becomes automatic — 66 days to be exact. And how long it takes a new habit to form can vary widely depending on the behavior, the person, and the circumstances. In Lally's study, it took anywhere from 18 days to 254 days for people to form a new habit. --James Clear
