Sometimes. It will usually still take some time to manifest.
If this is your first real foray into ritual magic (and it sounds like it so forgive me if I'm wrong), turn it into a RITUAL. As in repeat it once or twice a week at the same time of day for a month, write down what you did, and write down if anything has changed either internally or externally. Usually as you get more practise results will speed up, but you've got to put in the time and do the work. That point can't be stressed enough. Magic is an alternate path to success, although not always an easy one. People forget that. In any case, start paying more attention to your environment and yourself. If you feel the need to change old habits in favour of new ones after doing said ritual a few times, the magic is working, it's just working within you. Go with the changes that come, otherwise you're wasting your time.
Good luck!
