Stuckwisch notes that women in their 20s are usually going through a period "filled with significant life transitions, where self-esteem is a major vulnerability factor for mental wellness." If you're looking to improve and grow, she suggests the old-fashioned technique of replacing a bad habit with a good one.
"It is not enough to acknowledge that you have bad habits. To change them, neuroscientists show you need a minimum of 7 minutes each day for 63 days to create a new neural pathway," the expert says. "Identify the bad habit you want to change, challenge it, get a replacement tool for it, and implement the new tool. Remember that you are a work in constant progress. Goals happen incrementally, so stick with the new routine, even when it doesn't seem to be working."
