Studies have found that the human brain doesn’t change much after your mid-20s. While some behaviors and traits have and always will be stronger in some individuals simply due to genetics, we have more power to alter those up to our mid-20s than we do after. In other words, it’s just hard to change after you turn 30—your personality and habits are almost written in stone. If it’s very important to you to change something, then you’ll always have the option to go to therapy, meditate, and try other practices that can condition certain behaviors out of you (or into you). But just know that changing those would be much simpler if you did so before 30. If you know someone who just can’t kick a bad habit, pity them—it’s just tough after a certain age. Here are habits that are hard to break after you’re 30.
