Although your question is too general to offer much help, you may find this interesting to observe regarding creating or changing "habits".
Simple repetitive tasks require a time frame of approximately 21 days to condition.
Here is a familiar example: When you walk into your bedroom you "automatically" reach for the light switch on the left side as you enter. Then you move to a new home where the light switch is located on the right side as you enter. You will find that it will take you about 21 days to stop reaching for that light switch on the left side. (that is not there!). You will also find this 21 day "benchmark" to be the time your new house will start feeling "like home".
Answer:Around 30 - 40 repetitions, with most people.It depends on how type of person you are; and also depends on that you are human being or animal.
Animals take more time then human beings to make anything their habit, and they also take more time to leave that habit.
Also, human beings differ from person to person.
Answer:21 days is not an accurate answer! That number appears to have been invented by a self-styled self-help expert based on guesswork. Research shows that the amount of time varies greatly depending on how complex the activity is, how often it's performed, and other factors. In one experiment habit formation took anywhere from 1 month to 8 months.

∙ 15y agoIf you want to acquire a new "good" habit or change an old "bad" habit, you must consciously be aware of doing the thing you want to change and spend one full calender month (30 days) correcting the behaviour. By the end of that time your behaviour should have changed enough that the "habit" is gone.

∙ 9y agoit takes 30 days to break a habit and 7 days to make one.
Most people say it takes around 20-30 days to break a habit. Smoking for example, will take much longer though. It depends on the habit.
Ex-smokers often say if you can make 3 days, you can quit though. However, you have not broken the habit after 3 days.

Some habits, depending on the addiction level, can be formed in much less and take much longer to break.

Can being mean be a habit?
Of course. Anything can be a habit if repeated over time (most habits take 30-40 repetitions to form). A good way to break this mean habit is the cold turkey method. Just stop. Either compliment constantly, ignore the urge, or, if it's this bad, stop talking.
What does it take to be free?
Living a truly free life is being able to unshackle the chains of egotism and realize the personal advantage, when the battle of will diminishes within the human soul. This requires that we live life in the present and on purpose so we fully experience spiritual growth. We become more awake in our life when we make the daily habit of "being" and this is truly freedom when we are able to acknowledge the gift of living that we are enjoying.
Why is cracking knuckles addicting?
I have been cracking my knuckles for a couple of years now. and yes i do think it is addicting. i do it self consciously and i don't know how to stop. I've tried MANY MANY things and it won't work. i find myself doing it. but i am still trying. i have read about people actually stopping and i am gonna be next. because i think my finger\joints are getting fat from it. It is a habit but i think i habit could be addicting and this one is. so yeah. it is kinda sort of addicting. It's a nervous habit and ALL of us have something we do as a habit. Some people play with their hair by twisting it, some bite their nails, while others knuckle crunch. I've known people who pick their skin or pick their feet while watching TV and some people bobbing their legs or foot constantly while sitting. Here is a good way to stop from cracking your knuckles, but I have to warn you it hurts! Get a large elastic band for each wrist. Wind it around until it's just resting (not cutting off the circulation) and when you feel you are going to crack your knuckles take that suckah of an elastic band and stretch it and let it hit your wrist! After a week believe it or not you have tricked your subconscious "not to crack your knuckles!" One of my girlfriends stopped her nail biting by doing this.
