![]() Making habits is no hard thing, however takes a lot of initiative and discipline to begin with. A habit is something a person does often in a regular and repeated way. After the habit has been made, the activity will take little to no effort to be completed, and even transmit a sense of guilt when activity is not followed as the usual. These winter vacations I have set myself up towards the goal of creating a new habit that will benefit myself, and I have decided to make that habit based upon my health and changing my fixed mindset. I have the incorrect belief that I am no good at sports, and that there's nothing I am able to do to change that. Well, this winter break I am to prove myself wrong, by trying out a sport I haven't recently tried before. This will be useful for my growth as a learner, to show myself that if I commit to something, I can achieve it, and will also serve towards my well-being, since there is nothing healthier than sports. After giving it a while to think, I have decided to begin practicing the sport of gymnastics. As a kid I used to enjoy a lot doing this sport, however I was forced to stop because it wasn't good for my physical growth. Now that I have stopped growing, I am free to do as much of gymnastics as I please, and am happy to say I will be beginning classes next week.

What a cool habit to take on! Here it might be cool to make a connection between your habit and the diagram that you have added. Are there any connections?

Thanks Mr. Bonnici, as my father taught me, the best way to get through the beginning of making a habit is by rewarding yourself on the effort. After deciding and doing said activity, one should receive something, in other words, an extrinsic motivator. For my vacation habit I decided to reward myself with my favourite bubble gum, every time I finished my gymnastics lessons I would buy a package and enjoy. I trust this method helped me start the habit, since at times when I felt lazy I would remind myself of what I would be gaining after.
