Exploring health resources: Behavior change & GOAL SETTING (18 points)
You are to set a goal from any of the dimensions of well-being. It can be related to you physically, socially, financially, environmentally, intellectually, emotionally, or spiritually. Make each goal as SMART as possible. For example: I want to be financially independent to I want to accumulate net assets of one million dollars by age 50. If you have a goal like find a better job make it more specific by asking clarifying questions such as: what kind of job? Making how much money? In what field? Requiring what skills? Working in what type of environment? By when? Try to specify as clearly as you can what it is that you want. Some goals are not easy to measure such as being a good citizen or being happy because they are too broad and hard to quantify. Try to break them down into more specific parts what does being a good citizen mean to you? How will you know if you are? What does happiness mean to you? What would be happening in your life, what would it look like?
1. Based on the 1-1-5 worksheet from class, write one long term goal and AT LEAST 5 short term goals for your long term goal.
EX: Long term goal: Lose 15 pounds by Spring Break (March 16).
Short term goal 1: I will exercise 5x per week from September 8 until March 13. Short term goal 2: I will eat 5 servings of fruits and vegetables each day for the next two weeks (starting August 31)
2. Include strategies that remove barriers and provide a reward. Be creative!
Strategies should remove barriers and provide rewards/motivation to help you stay on track
EX: I will exercise 5x per week from September 8 until November 3. Achievement strategy #1: I will pack my workout bag the night before and put it in my car before I go to bed (so I dont forget clothes/shoes for exercising). Achievement strategy #2: I will ask my best friend, Kelly, to go exercise with me on Tuesday nights to help me with accountability and social support. Achievement strategy #3 (reward): If I exercise 5x per week, at the end of each week I get to go to the movies with my friends.
3. We have discussed transtheoretical model of behavior change in class, and now this is your chance to apply the behavior change theory to your goal. State your stage and provide examples that illustrate this stage.
First Paragraph: Specifically state your short term and long term goals. What is your behavior stage level and why? The following paragraphs highlight the various strategies that will help you achieve these goals. Specify dates of each strategy and ultimate goals!
