Behavior Change Reflection
This article specifically applies to my behavior change because it shows that physical activity can improve overall life. One reason I am interested in becoming more physically active and fit is so that it will carry over into all aspects of my life. I am also curious to see if more physical activity in my life will help to improve my academic achievements. I do not plan on changing my goals but after completing my daily workouts, I will now come home and complete school work. I plan on evaluating personally my own academic ability after workouts to see if it increases at all. From this article, I have learned that is possible to improve my physical health and not compromise other areas of my life. I think this information will help me to remain

    Sci 241 Final Project

    My life is an unusual one. My work schedule has me getting up before the sun rises and getting home before lunch time. After I get home, my time is mostly occupied by my two year old daughter. Then, I cook dinner and usually go to bed before the sun sets. Because of the nature of this lifestyle, there is not much time for things like exercise or any other physical activity. Do not get me wrong. I do participate in some mild physical activity associated with chasing my daughter around outside on a nice day or inside when the weather does not cooperate, but I would hardly call that exercise. On top of that, because of my daily routine, I do not have time to really concentrate on what I am…

    Behavior Progress Case Study

    Behavior Progress: Since William’s last court review, William has demonstrated some difficulty complying with managing his behavior and accepting his placement in the program. After his most recent court hearing, William was highly frustrated and presented a negative attitude towards his continuation in the program. William has verbalized that he was “sick of the program and everyone in it”. William’s frustration and negative disposition has been a major focus during individual sessions with staff. On March 13, 2016, William was observed by staff swinging a broom like a baseball bat during clean up and received a sanction. William was then asked to go to his room in which he initially failed to comply; he then began to argue with staff. Later…

    Chosen Behavior Change Model

    My primary goal was to reduce sedentary behaviour (playing an iPad game ‘HeartStone’) and increase vigorous activities (going to the gym). In order to maintain health in overall, it is advised by a number of guidelines all adults should spend minimum 30 minutes of modest amount physical activity on most days of the week (Pate, Pratt and Bair, 1995). I aimed to go to gym three days a week for at least 30 minutes.…

    My Behavior Change Project

    For my Behavior Change Project I chose to change my drinking habits with water. This seems like it would be an easy thing for anyone to do. All you have to do is just drink a lot of water right? That wasn’t the case for me I kind of had some trouble with consuming more water. As an athlete here at Colorado State University-Pueblo, water is very important to me. Without the right amount of water I consume every day, I will start slacking in my performance on the court and in the classroom.…

    Behavior Change Project Observation Report

    The primary goal of my behavior change project was to break my bad habit of skipping meals. Unfortunately, when I younger, I had an eating disorder, and a lot of the unhealthy habits that I picked up during that time have stuck with me. I have asked myself countless times if my eating disorder would ever go away completely, but I realized that it is in my hands to break the habits that keep me close to that period.…

    Behavioral Change

    In my self-directed behavioral change project, I encountered a lot of difficult challenges and obstacles in reaching my ultimate goal: a better night’s sleep. My goals for this behavioral change project were to establish a proper sleep and bedtime regimen, getting a full-night’s rest and ultimately feeling more alert and energetic through the day. My main goals were to improve my sleep cycle/regimen by getting the necessary eight hours of sleep I need every night and waking up in the morning feeling fully rested and not sleepy, tired, or groggy at all. This is what I set out to do and I recorded all the times I went to bed, times I’d fall asleep, times I’d wake up in the middle of the night, and times I’d wake up next morning. I recorded all of my observations and occurrences for two weeks and noticed some positive change in my bed-time pattern. I was able to get the necessary eight hours of sleep every night and felt a difference the next day.…

    My Behavior Change Project

    The behavior change project for me was a very rewarding process because I really felt like I was able to help someone. I started off in the beginning trying to help my friend lose weight because he had always told me that he wanted too. Throughout the six weeks, he lost a total of 10 pounds. It wasn’t always easy throughout because it took a lot of planning and hard work to achieve what he wanted to. As time went on, his goals became easier for him. He worked 3 times a week (missed only one!) and made sacrifices in his diet. Although he did not meet his goal, he still did a very good job. I guided my client to develop goals and objectives from the beginning of our first meeting. I told him that I did not want to pressure him in doing something he doesn’t want to do. However, he was very determined and asked for my help for some of them. Through out the weeks, we did change some of the goals and objectives depending on how he did the week earlier. I did tell him that a gradual build up to working out and diet would be best. Also, I asked him what would motivate him and incorporated that into our system.…

    Positive Psychological Effects on Exercise

    Numerous studies showed that a daily routine of exercise made people live longer lives, had healthier bodies, and were in a more positive psychological state than the people who did not perform exercise as part of their lifestyle. Majority of my family members were overweight and I witnessed many psychological effects that took a toll on their bodies and interfered with their work routine and also their social life. On the other hand, when I reached a certain age in my life, I knew that I did not want to have the health problems some of my family members did and decided to make exercise part of my daily routine to decrease the negative psychological effects that it could have had on myself. Many people used the excuse; I do not have time for exercise or I didn’t have any money for a gym membership. To me, this was just an excuse because anyone can take thirty minutes a day and go for a walk through the park or jog through the neighborhood, which cost no money at all. “Research demonstrated that individuals who exercised with others, that involved virtual reality stimulation, or getting feedback aimed at improved self efficiency and enjoyment, greater increase in stress reduction, mood, and well-being, and reduced anxiety and depression” (Plante 1).…

    Healthy Life Style

    First of all, being physically active is a key element in living a longer, healthier, happier life. It can help relieve stress and can provide an overall feeling of well-being. Physical activity can also help you achieve and maintain a healthy weight and lower risk for chronic disease. Take myself as an example, when I was in junior high school, due to the pressure of entering a good university, I suffered from obesity and constipation. Even the doctor told me that I had a lot of chances to get heart disease. With surprise, my father then set lots of exercise…
