Behavior Change Contract

                                      

My behavior change will be taking time to enjoy every minute of life.

 

A)  Personal Statement of why you are choosing this behavior modification and why this will benefit your overall health. Keep in mind it can be for your social, emotional, physical, spiritual or mental health. (1 paragraph)

I am choosing this behavior to change because I have a tendency to stress about the small things and miss out on the important aspects of life. I feel it is important to cherish every moment you are given because life can easily be taken within a blink of eye.I would like to put the joy, laughter, and spontaneity back into my life so I can appreciate who I am and who I want to be.

 

B) I plan to take the following steps to implement my behavior change;

1. Focus on the positive aspects of life rather than dwelling on my troubles.

2. Relax and not stressing about the small things.

3. Not be so quick to criticize, seee other points of view.

4. Have more fun...make life worth living.

 

 C) Strategies I have for keeping on my plan;

1.  Always staying busy to keep my mind off my worries/troubles.

2. Spending time with family, and trying to work through previous problems.

3. Live EVERY day like it was my last.

 

 D) I plan to reward my success by

1.By going out with friends on Friday night.

2. Having personal time to relax and refresh my mind and body.

 


 

Labs

 Identifying your stress level and your stressors

This lab helped me understand some popular stressors. With pressure from home, school and just life in general I have a lot of stress. The lab increased my awareness and helped me to notice some of my stressors during the course of a day.  As I thought, I am very over stressed and I need to learn how not to worry about the small things. On top of everyday stress, I noticed that during times of finals or family issues stress goes up. If I am constantly stressed the only direction my stress can go is up.

Body Image

Doing this lab helped me realized that I have a negative body image. I never realized how I don’t give myself a break when it comes to gaining weight. Strength is really important to me and if I ever see a muscle that doesn’t quite look strong enough I have to fix that muscle. The lab showed me that maybe I shouldn’t be so obsessive when it comes to body image. Sure, I don’t have the perfect, skinny body but I should be more focused on being healthy than losing weight. I essence, I need to learn how to become comfortable in my own skin.

How Assertive Are You?

     I chose to do this lab just to see if what I thought I was is what I really am. I know that I am shy, bashful, and even a bit of a loner when I am put in an uncomfortable position. I try to avoid commitment and relationships because I don’t want to get hurt. The quiz showed something different that I thought, however. I was surprised to see that after I took the quiz I was an 8, which was about the center of the scale. For me this showed that in certain situations, those that I am passionate about, I will stand up for what I believe in.  

Evaluate your Lifestyle

In this lab I learned that I have a pretty healthy lifestyle. I work out regularly and have a pretty healthy diet. I don’t smoke and I very rarely consume alcohol, and although I have some dare devil stunts none would be considered high risk behavior. The sections I fell down in were the ones I expected, however. I have trouble opening up to people and I usually try to not show any emotion. The lab helped me understand that the emotional aspect of health is an important one as it pertains to total wellness.

Checklist for Avoiding Infection

I am an extremely busy person who is constantly trying to prevent infection from disrupting my daily life. I have a full schedule filled with family, friends, work, and school and do not have the time to get sick. The lab assured me that I do a fairly good job preventing infectious disease. Hopefully if I keep this up I will be well and disease free.
