In 2017, scientists made a discovery that validates a 2012 theory about time crystals being an exotic new state of matter.

The atomic structure of three dimensional crystals is orderly, constant and in repeating patterns across space. Time crystals are four dimensional. They repeat patterns of atomic structure in cycles across space AND time.

Keep in mind that time crystals have no implications for time travel... Dr. Who fans out there your time will come (no pun intended).

Time crystals are grown in a lab and their repeating patterns can be initiated by lasers. When the laser is discontinued, the time crystals continue their pattern. Applications for time crystals include quantum computing.

Daily habits often determine our health, happiness, and success. Like a three-dimensional static crystal, you need to get the structure in place. Gather the components you need to meet your goal. Get a membership to a health club, purchase kale, or a new organizer.

Creating forward motion through time takes action-just getting started. A time crystal, at first, needs outside stimulus of a laser to maintain its momentum.  For us to form a new habit, it helps to have outside support and a motivation to encourage daily execution.

It takes far more than 21 days to make or break a habit. The European Journal of Social Psychology found that it takes an average of 66 days!

Live your life like a time crystal. Set a goal, establish structure, find external support to help get past the 66 days that it takes to solidify change, then watch as the habit continues on its own transforming your life.
