Discover the differences between habit and enjoyment and learn how to eliminate bad habits with good habits.

1. Habit vs. Enjoyment
Mykim Tran

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.
