🧠 How to Make a Habit Stick

Forming a new habit? You’re not alone if it’s taking longer than expected. New research shows it could take anywhere from 2 to 5 months—and often longer—for a routine to feel automatic. But the good news? Simple strategies like planning ahead, choosing your own behaviour change, and repeating it at the same time every day can dramatically improve your success.

At Azesta, we embed these principles into our apprenticeship design—turning learning into lasting behaviour change.

“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” – C.S. Lewis

“Learning as an adult is not about starting over. It’s about moving forward with purpose.”

Your apprenticeship is more than a course—it's a commitment to yourself and your future.
