Question: Choose a health-related behavior you would like to increase or decrease.
Use the SMART goals framework to set a behavior change goal for your target behavior
Monitor and record your behavior for one week (Week 1) without making any changes to your typical routine. This will be your baseline data (i.e., your pattern of behavior without any intervention.)
Choose and implement ONE strategy to change your behavior to achieve your goal. This should be based on theories and concepts we learned in class. Apply this strategy for one week on Week 2.
Evaluate the success of your strategy.
If you were unsuccessful, modify the strategy or try a new strategy on Week 3. Continue monitoring and recording your behavior on Week 3. Be sure to record any necessary additional information that will illustrate if your new strategy was effective.
If you were successful, evaluate any weaknesses in your strategy (as in the example above). Modify the strategy or try a new strategy to improve your situation.
Repeat for Week 4 (i.e., Evaluate Week 3's strategy. Modify the strategy or try a new strategy.
Continue monitoring and recording your behavior on Week 4.)
