Part 1: Check Your Habits Stephanie Julia D. Reyes, 9 - Berea

Respond to the prompts below to explore your digital media habits.
Check Your Habits

What are your current digital habits? (Keep in mind: Habits can be positive, negative, or both.
Brainstorm and list as many of your habits as you can.)

 Checking my messenger when I wake up 

 Watching Netflix anytime I like 🙁
 Using Spotify while taking a bath 😅
 Before I sleep I also use messenger 😀
 Watch YouTube in the afternoon 🙂

Next, draw (or insert) an emoji next to each habit to show how it makes you feel.

Part 3: Personal Challenge

Considering your responses in Part 1 and 2, use the steps below to create a personal challenge.
Choose

Choose one digital habit you want to change or to try to do differently. Why is it important that you
change this habit?

I want to change the time when I wake up and the first thing I do is to check my phone.

Challenge

Challenge yourself. Make a plan for how you would like to change your habit. Consider when you
will do something different and what you can do instead. (When we're trying to change a habit, it's
not enough just to say what we won't do. We also have to come up with something to do instead!)

I want to challenge myself to have a new habit and it is to greet my parents “Good Morning” and just
spend more time with them in the morning.

Boost

Boost your challenge. What are some ways you can give your new habit a "boost" and make it easier
to do? If you're trying to break a bad habit, what are some things you can do so that you don't slip
back into old ways?

One thing I can boost my new habit is not to put my phone next to me when I sleep so when I wake up I
wouldn’t look at my phone first thing in the morning.

Reflection

Time to share. Say something about what you learned for today and how this discussion helped you.

I learned that we should learn how to use our time wisely since our time in the earth is short. We have to do
things we love and spend more time with our love ones while they are still here.
