Healthy habits aren't built overnight.
Science shows there's no one-size-fits-all timeline. While some habits form quickly, others (like regular exercise) can take several months to become part of your routine.

✔️ Choose a healthy behavior you enjoy
✔️ Stay consistent - even if progress feels slow

The best habit is the one you can stick with.
