When a new self improvement idea is put into practice, it is resisted by our brain because of Neuro plasticity and neural pathways.
Brain has learned methods of doing what we are doing. These are Neuro paths.
Any change in these paths is resisted because of plasticity of neurons.
Sustained pressure for a number of days is needed before these neural paths can change. This is why changing one'a behaviour is difficult.
The new ideas of self improvements must be first put to test against these human fibres within our brain.
If they can make dent there, then only they can be useful.
