“You will never change your life until you change something you do daily”- John C Maxwell. This is the quote that I have used as motivation for a while. I put this quote into perspective in my self-behavior Modification project by keeping me motivated to completely stop drinking soda (Mtn. Dew, Sprite, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, Etc.). I used to drink four or five 12oz cans of soda a day and now I feel like I drink more soda then water. that to me is not satisfying in the sense that I am putting around 60 grams of sugar into my body every time I drink one of the sodas. I plan to start off slow and make my progress by weekly. To reward myself for reaching my goal each week will be that I can drink a lemonade or some type of fruit punch. That way I have …show more content…
At times it is very difficult to stay on track and try not to order a soda, but I have been drinking a lot more water and my body is feeling way better than before. I personally haven’t experienced any failure yet but I do have a long ways to go, If I by chance fall off track for a week I will change the dates of my goals and start that week over. I have learned in this process that sometimes you need to go through hard times of cutting things off to live a better life. I hope that I can stick with this plan because I truly believe that I will feel better, and when you feel good you live an all-around better life
...fore I have taken the steps outlined in this essay and made a change in my behavior by joining Weight Watchers.
reinforcement and punishment were applied to gain desired behavior and clear target behavior. Verbal positive reinforcement and positive punishment was used, maintaining a firm consistency throughout the intervening period. To achieve the best result a tightly controlled environment was created to limit any possible distractions. Results obtained during the follow-up period indicated a substantial success for the intervention program.
Overall, I am pleased with the changes that I have made to my diet, and plan to continue working towards my goals. In order to accomplish my goals in the future, I will try to slowly increase my fruit, vegetable, and whole grain consumption. Another goal that I need to work on is to slowly limit the amount of meat products that I consume. Incorporating these changes will help me accomplish my goals of increasing my calories and decreasing my protein intake to the recommended values set by the Dietary Reference intakes. As long as I can continue to practice these healthier ways of eating, I am sure to have a longer and healthier life and decrease my risk of chronic diseases as I age.
The fifth week rolls around with 10 cups a day for 5 days week. I wasn’t really sure about this week but I also wasn’t about to give it up. I planned out the next 5 days so I finish my criteria of 10 cups a day. I would carry the bottle around with me and keep track of how many cups I was going through. I started doing that Sunday and I did it till Thursday. I made it by drinking 10 cups a day for 5 days a week. I am not sure if I will be able to keep pace with the way I did for the previous weeks. But I am sure that I will be drinking a lot of water then before.
A behavioral intervention plan (BIP) is designed for a specific child to try to help that child learn to change her or his behavior. Once the function of a student 's behavior has been determined, the Individual Education Program (IEP) Team should develop the behavior intervention plan A behavioral intervention plan can be thought of as a plan to support the student in order to help him or her change behavior. Effective support plans consist of multiple interventions or support strategies and are not punishment. Positive behavioral intervention plans increase the acquisition and use of new alternative skills, decrease the problem behavior and facilitate general improvements in the quality of life of the individual, his or her family, and
Currently, I do not have any diagnosed health problems, however I there are a large amount of diseases that run in my family, which puts me at greater risk to contracting them. As a result, I should be taking preventative measures to insure that I will have longevity and overall health wellness. Therefore my health change behavior goals are to workout consistently, and to eat less processed snacks and pastries. While these seem like simple changes , in the past I have struggled with staying consistent with my goals because I do not make time for them and I tend to forget the benefits in the process. I have chosen these specific goals because they fit in with each other and will ultimately help me to achieve my desired outcome which is weight
In the book A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess the main character, Alex, is exposed to an experimental technique known as "Ludovico's Technique" which causes him to feel pain whenever he is exposed to sex, violence, or certain types of music. This Ludovico's Technique is a form of behavior modification, most likely inspired by B.F. Skinner.
I found that this was harder than I thought, because of not being able to eat a proper lunch during most of my work week while I have a class in session. Now that I have made changes in what I eat, I find myself eating healthier, by bringing more fruit to work to eat when I am really in need of a snack. I would bring things like oranges, apples, bananas or grapes, which I cut up and then bring them each one not counting the bananas of course into separate small Ziploc bags . When came to your advice from our day one discuss, I have started making small changes to what I eat and the things I take. One example of this is during my week one super food tracker you told me I should to stay away from processed foods, because we as humans have evolved over millions of years, and processed foods has just recently made it face on the scene of things that are bad for us. You explain those types of foods wreaks havoc on our bodies, resulting in obesity, diabetes, and a plethora of other diseases and it’s because of your comment I have started making changes. Some of the things that I have read has all so made me try my best to stay away from those types of food, I have cut my intake of such food by more than half or maybe more than half now that I really think about. The second piece of advice is you is the use of canned tomatoes, I used my last can four days and will try stewing some fresh ones this weekend. I am all so now eating less red meat, one example was about two three ago I broke out the grill and grilled a week's worth of chicken and smoke a whole turkey something which I am still eating from as of the 1st May 2018. When considering your advice on avoiding any drinks with added sugar, organic or not I will try to and drink water, but I may have to add fruits or lemons for
1.Different schools of thought provide perspectives on behavior and behavior management. Chapter 1, Basic Concepts of Behavior and Behavior Management, presented an overview of behavioral, psychological, and sociological approaches to behavior management. Compare two of these approaches and explain how their perspectives are similar or different with regard to behavior, behavior problems, discipline, attitude, responsibility, and consequences.
If I’m being completely honest, I have a long list of things I would like to change about myself. I’m sure everyone does, but personally I could pick out my flaws better than I could pick out my strengths. The weird thing is, however, I genuinely like myself. I think I’m pretty great and that my imperfections are what makes me who I am. With all of that said, I would still like to be more refined and love myself rather than just like myself.
Behavior Modification in Children Children are basically honest with displaying negative behaviors. There is no discrimination where they are displayed whether at home, in the community, or around other people. In many cases, it takes a ‘village’ of parents, advocates, teachers, and, if applicable, clinical professionals to address unwarranted behaviors. Determining how these behaviors are approached depends on the appropriate method to best address a child’s needs. This paper demonstrates three alternative methods of modifying unacceptable behavior, how they are used, the most effective and effectiveness of the methods.
For the entire month of February, I challenged myself to go to the gym, to cut out all unhealthy foods, and to be a positive force to be reckoned with for thirty days. I went to the gym because I wished to live healthier, to become more in touch with myself, to see if I could not learn what the gym had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover I had not lived. I want to prove that I can do this, not for others, but for myself. Most people are uncertain about themselves and live hastily, but through dedication to live healthy, it has helped me live more for myself.
For this assignment, I filmed myself teaching a mid-unit Math lesson on ‘money’; the lesson included reviewing the goal and scales of learning, a smart board review of the concept and a hands-on activity. I chose to assess myself with the Behavior Management portion of the CLASS assessment tool because I feel that as a beginning teacher, this is the area that I wish to improve most upon. I believe that successful and effective classroom management will facilitate learning, class climate and instructional delivery, therefore, I am mostly focusing on improving this skill throughout this semester.
To improve my health over a period of 14 days I had two main goals: eat healthier and increase my activity level. I planned to not eat fast food, cut out caffeine, and eat a healthy balance of fruits, vegetables, protein, dairy, and grains. In addition, to increase my activity level I intended to go to the gym four days a week and workout for at least 45 minutes to an hour a day. There were not many changes to my original plan other than working out almost every day and sometimes even doing two activities a day. I never really noticed how many days I was working out, but I knew working out or at least doing some type of activity made me stress-free at the end of the day.
While I was tracking my eating for these three days, I began to learn about the benefits of the food that I am eating and the nourishment that they provide for my body. I had never realized how big of a role that the food that I eat plays in my everyday life. Eating has never been something that I really think about it is just something that I do. After I looking at the data of what I eat on Choose My Plate, I realized that my eating habits are far from balanced and that I needed to work on bringing my eating habits to a better balance. While there are a lot of things that I have been doing right, there are also many things that I can work on.
