2. Introduction
Do you think that if you do the same thing every
day, then you are enjoying what you are doing?
For example, if you watch television every day,
do you think to yourself that you enjoy watching
television?
3. Is it a habit?
However, if you do the same thing every day, then it
might not mean you enjoy doing it.
You might develop the habit of watching television.
Habits are very tricky and tough to get rid of that
will influence you to believe that what you are doing
is enjoyment.
Habits can develop very quickly with just one or two
times of doing something.
4. Is it a habit?
When you do the same thing over and over
again, your body, mind, and spirit will become
use to it, and then it will become a natural thing
or in this case a habit.
You will engage into the habit without realizing
it.
5. Action steps
• 1. List down everything that you do on a regular basic
• 2. For each thing, answer the following questions:
– Do you engage into it without realizing it?
– Do you lose focus or lack of interest after a short period of time
doing it?
– Are you easily distracted by what you are doing?
– Do you sometimes believe that what you are doing is a waste of
time and that you should be doing something else?
– Do you engage into it because you believe there is nothing else
or better for you to do?
– Do you engage into it to pass time?
6. Is it a habit?
• If you answer yes to at least two of the questions, then
what you are doing is a habit, and not something you
enjoy doing.
• When you enjoy doing something, then you will look
forward to the same activity the next time.
• For example, if you enjoy watching television and it is
over, then you will look forward to watching television
again the next time.
• Most importantly, you will give your complete attention
to the activity.
7. Action steps
3. For the things that have become habits, you want to
come up with something else that you might enjoy doing
so you can substitute for your habits.
This is your chance to explore new things.
You will be surprised on what you will enjoy doing, but
you never get the chance to because your habits have
taken up all of your time.
4. Have the new activity ready for you to do when your
habit starts to kick in. You want to be ready.
