there are several issues with the 21 days theory

1) People take it too literaly and if they cant see their mindset or habit broken within that period its way too easy to give up and make excuses

2) Unlike all other aspects of our behaviour we dont break the plan down with 21 days ie I will have achieved this by day 7, sio its this tangible goal with lots of pressure to achieve everything by the end ( a good recipe for disaster in my books)

3) Its a rule of thumb, you cant expect to change some aspects of your behaviour over a small time frame of 21 days some take a life time fo commitment and reserve.

Now dont you go bailing on me for gettin that full on 6er, it just means you need refocus not a new target!
