Qurator's Mischievous Mondays | A Habit I Picked Up Without Realizing
Welcome to Qurator's Mischievous Mondays!
This will be a weekly competition that we will be hosting every Monday. We want to see a little more engagement and fun when it comes to some of our competitions so this will be a simpler and shorter competition. Easy to enter, but maybe not so easy to win. ;) This competition will be similar to the Monday Missions we had a long time ago, but instead of writing posts to enter we will now consider only the comments and answers on this blog as your entry to win.
Why Mischievous?
We all could use a little fun in our lives. We would even say that we deserve it, let loose a little and have a go at making everyone laugh or think a little, even if it is a little over the top or pure silliness. Go all out and let your creative juices flow.

The habit that I picked is drinking water after waking up. I just read some article before about it and my friend also shared it to me. At first I was hesitant, but now I realized that I have been doing it for several months.
It was a good habit though. Since I keep myself hydrated in the morning. Perfect for replenishing the liquids in my body.
There was a time I had a bad cough, despite the flu went away, but the cough stays. Dad brought me see the specialist, and he suggested me to see a psychologist as there's nothing wrong with my breathing passage.
After further soul digging with the counselor, the conclusion is my "language confidence"🤣 it only happens when I can't think of a word to describe some information I wanted to deliver, then the cough came. In my subconscious mind, I use coughing as a pause filler, and the minime on my head tells me coughing is more presentable than "running out of vocabularies".
I can't say if it was a good or bad habit. I guess it was good at that time as my soul finds it comforting. I have coughed a lot more before I fully realized it was planted in me as a handicap for language barrier. It took a long time to replace the cough with a proper pause and I don't cough that often anymore.
A Habit I Picked Up Without Realizing is turning off the lights in the living room every time I go back to my room because before I was leaving the lights turned on the living room when I go somewhere else and this new habit that I picked up recently is a good one as turning off the lights when no one is using a particular area in the house saves energy and contributes to lower down the electricity bills
Thank you for the upvote
A Habit I Picked Up Without Realizing is checking my phone every single minute to see if there is a new notification popping up from the Discord group I belong to. This kind of habit I think is not a good one because checking my phone every single minute grabs my attention towards the task I am currently doing and this makes me lose focus on what I am doing. I also realize that this behavior consumes a lot of my time and my productivity at home is heavily affected by this habit
When I was 15 or 16 years old, I started to study at a health school; There they taught me that I should wash my hands every time I finished caring for a patient, and also before starting to care for the next one. They were very strict. I didn't get used to doing it willingly, until without realizing it, I did it mechanically. Nowadays I do it everywhere, at home, on the street, with patients.
At first I thought it was a bad practice that wasted time, over the years I learned that it was one of the best things that studying health professions for so many years gave me.
