Wednesday, April 17, 2019 (Habit)

From a few days, I started thinking about habits. 
 

Basically what is a habit?

A habit is a daily activity that is hard to give up. We easily get habits of many things. Infact I started reading a book named “Power of Habit” that I have not finished yet. But I am learning many things. In this book, it is written that there are 3 components of a habit. Those are

• Clue: Trigger to remember the habit.
• Routine: To observe the activity.
• Reward: Getting Benefit in form of getting satisfaction for the completion of activity.

We can change a habit with another one (activity) if the clue and reward are same. Basically we consider 2 types of habits. One is good habit and other is bad habit.

In case of a good habit, it is very hard to be adopted most of the time in the first place. In the second place, it will not last longer. It means “It is hard to get but easy to lose”.

On the other hand, we easily adopt habits easily & quickly which are bad for us. But leaving those habits are real task. So, it is very easy to adopt but hard to leave.

Basically having bad habits are not bad until your bad habits start dominating against your good habits. Sometimes, new bad habits can replace the good one. Any habit that destroys the good habit must be ignored.

I have noticed that my bad habits are dominating against good habits. As a result, good habits are losing its place. So, there is a place to think and rethink for identifying the right one. Just remembering a previous good habit is not an ideal task but thinking how to regain it is a real task.

Now-a-days, I am engaged to many things and some habits and hobbies become a part of my past life. New hobbies are not coming properly after a regular interval and I don’t have any opportunity to continue existing hobbies to carry on. 

 

 

Facebook: Facebook was a part and parcel of my life. I used to use it more than 10 hours per day until 2016. I started Face-booking in 2010 and now-a-days, I use it often but I log in after an interval of 2 days sometimes. Now, using FB is remaining just less than 10% compared to 2015.

Games: I am fond of playing games. Strategic games are my favorite in which I have something to plan and analyze. I used to play games more than 5 hours daily until 2016. Clash of Clans is my favorite and I also like and played games including Royal Clash, Hay Day, Perfect Kick, 8 Balls and more on. Those games are for a continuous playing and similarly I explored some new games in the same time with my Android Device. Now I play games occasionally and only selective games (Only Clash of Clans and Royal Clash) are played by me. Though it is impossible sometimes to continue, I still try to play. 

 


Watching movies: I used to watch every big movie just after being released. This year I have watched only 2 movies that are released in 2017. One is Raees because of SRK factor and second is Bahubali 2 because of curiosity started from 1^st part. Approximately more than 90% is down from any year. 

Reviewing movies and Reading news about Box office: I like to review movies. For this I had a blog to review movies. When I don’t watch movies in a regular basis, it is almost impossible for me to review. I still read news about box office and movies but I spend little time for this now. 

 

Playing Chess: Playing chess was a likable activity but this is no longer a hobby now.  In fact, playing 4 or 5 rounds were normal once.

 





Other Social Apps: I don’t have enough time to connect with Imo, What’s App, Viber and others regularly. 

 




Blogging: I started blogging since 2010 and I continue it until now. Though the range of writing is narrow now, I try to keep going on.

There are some other habits and hobbies that are not observed now including watching TV programs, watching matches, hearing songs etc. Life is quiet busy after starting my post graduation program. Mind is not fresh but it is hanging all the days. Mind doesn’t perfectly combine between Choice and Decision.

I have visited International Trade Fair with my Wife today. It is first time that I visit there with her. A small traveling may grant a huge set of happiness. Life goes with its own speed. Maybe we are engaged with many activities but we should not ignore about other important matters. Sometimes many habits that I have adopted come to our life after a regular interval. Old habits are replaced by many new habits. It’s human behavior.

What are other important matters??

Habits that don’t change or are not replaced by new habits are other important matter. Basically other important matters are the actual things of life. Things that we don’t want to leave bring real happiness to us.  Those become a part of life.

Being busy is not a bad habit if we maintain all the matter smoothly. The real happiness is found in small segments. Small segment bring small happiness and those small happiness will turn a mega happiness of life for sure. We often sacrifice those segments in order to getting mega thing directly. But things that we got directly may leave us directly. But mega thing is defined variously by each person.
