Habit (習慣)

"Habit is something we do automatically without any conscious thought... Your homework today is to think of one habit, something you do automatically, that's giving you result you don't want, and make up your mind you are going to replace that with something essentially the opposite."

「習慣是我們在沒有任何思考意識下自動做的事… 今天的功課是想一個習慣，某件你自動做的事，卻給你不想要的結果，決定你將以一個本質相反的事情來替代它。」

• "conscious" 是「有意識的」。"replace" 是「代替；替換」。"essentially" 是「基本上；根本上」，為副詞，在修飾形容詞 "opposite"「相反的」。"essential" 則為形容詞。改掉壞習慣的方法不只是決定不去做它，而是找出一個替代它的好習慣。今天的功課：如上。
