Another target that I have changed was in February, because in January my target was to go to placement two times a week. I thought that this target was good because it will give me lots of experience working with elderly people which will benefit me in the future when I apply to university. I thought this target was useful because it will also allow me to complete my 100 hours of work experience before the end of year 12 and this was my motive behind setting my self this target to achieve it. I did managed to go to placement two times a week for two week but later I realised that it wont work out and that I need to change. This was because I realised that if I go to placement two times a week, it will mean that I have to go on Saturdays and Sundays because I have school from Monday to Fridays and going there after school won’t be a good idea because mostly all the residents will be in bed and they will be sleeping. This will reduce my experience and will also reduce my responsibilities at home. Another reason was that if I go after school, I won’t be able to complete my homework because I won’t be back until 8 and I will be tried for the next day. So I decided to change my target for next month. I understand that changing the action plan regularly is not a good idea because it won’t give the chance to develop. If I regularly change my action plan then I will become lacier and it will demotivates me from trying new things.
It has taken essentially a full year for me to realize this and conclude that I needed to change. My goals focus on two things. First, and the most important is to get into Physician Assistant graduate school. My second goal is to focus full heartedly on my last season of football. These are two very personal goals that I can focus on and use as tools to better myself and the communities I find myself
Goals within my organisation look at where we would continue to strive towards. They are long term aims. They are stated in our professional development plan stating:-
To prioritise my own development goals and targets, I have to think realistically about what is necessary for my job role at that moment, for example; if you are developing your communication skills and working towards building relationships and trust, you cannot plan a set strategy to produce trust and this can take time. But if
One of the goals that I have had accomplished is being able to stay healthy and be athletic at the same time. By following the action that i had created from the past eventually lead me to accomplishing this goal. The action plan was not
I chose to do my behavior change project on improving my diet. I put my own little twist on it with the way I measured my success and I had to supplement it to reach my goals, but I feel that it was done really well. My goal was at the end of the four weeks to be able to run 3.1 miles in 18:45. I have run times close to this before, but that was a couple of years ago. At the beginning of this project my time for 3.1 miles was 20:36. I knew that if I was committed and worked really hard that I would be able to do it though. I chose to measure my behavior change this way due to the fact that I have a very busy life and I am on the high school cross country team. I figured I would already be running each week and I have a race every week that I can measure my time against my goal. So I was just trying to save some time in my schedule by partially combining two activities.
Goals must be stated in measurable terms, i.e., how can you tell you have accomplished that goal? Identify dates for accomplishing each goal.
My short term S.M.A.R.T. goal for December of 2017 is to begin a consistent workout routine. Specifically, I would like to keep up with this workout routine long term, but right now I just need to get into the habit of doing this. I have tried before, but I could not keep up with it. I just need to try again with a different purpose to keep me going. To measure this goal, I will complete at least three 30 minute workout sessions each week of December. After completing my Time Management schedule assignment, I know that I have plenty of free time to accomplish this attainable goal. This is a realistic goal, because I have no reason not to be working out. I have no disability and it would make me feel more energized and healthy. One month is an adequate timeframe
This past summer, I realized that I was getting a lot more exercise compared to the school year. Aside from the occasional basketball, volleyball, or run, I do not have a set schedule or exercise regularly. As a result, I found the Behavioral Change Project the perfect opportunity to set the goal for myself of being more physically fit by exercising daily. To do so, I aimed to either play sports (basketball or volleyball) for at least 1 hour or run at least 1 mile (which includes 5 minutes of stretching beforehand) as my daily exercise. Having the objectives established beforehand made it clear to me what I needed to do to reach my goal. I also wrote down goal-facilitating behaviors (planning to run with others, to work and study effectively
I realized that I still have a lot of work to do on this goal, because when SB checked in with me towards the end and asked me how I was feeling, the first thing that came out of my mouth was that I am fine. He helped me come to the realization that I said everything was fine, when I was obviously anxious. In this session I asked for feedback and to be called out on when I was or was not working on my goal, as I think it will help me recognize whether I am truly progressing towards my goal or not and become more aware on areas for improvement. I will make sure to share with group members when I am working on my goals so that everyone, including myself, is aware that I am trying to work on my goals and can provide me with some feedback.
Fourthly, you should predict and plan for obstacles in your way. Fifth, make intervention precautions for if you stray from the goal such as a behavioral contract, positive or negative reinforcements, support groups, behavioral shaping, keeping a diary, or graphing results. Sixthly, asses your overall compliance with your plan. Seventh, assess the progress of your over all goal. Is this goal going to assist you in achieving your overall
The behavior I have chosen to do my modification program on is increasing the amount of time I work out every time I go to the gym until I reach my target goal. My target goal is to work out for an hour and half every time I go to the gym in the morning. When I go to the gym I will be taking a stop watch to time the amount of time I work out to verify that I reached my goal as well as mark my calendar every day that I go stating how long I worked out for. To make sure I was committed to the goal I wrote down six reasons/benefits of making this behavior change that are both short term and long term. They are feeling better about myself throughout the day, getting to wear the dress I want to be able to fit by my birthday on July 24th, increasing my endurance for marathons, improving my mood, sleeping better, also something to enjoy doing with my husband. There are many more but these are the ones I placed on my bathroom mirror, on my desk lamp at work, on my dashboard in my car, the table next to my front door that holds my gym bag and shoes, on my fridge and in my husband’s truck in case he drives. I also let my husband know my goal and also invited him to come with me so he could monitor that I am actually sticking with my plan daily. I also had stated the table next to the door holds my gym bag and shoes so if I was to walk outside I automatically see them there taunting me to take them and go to the gym. I also put a reminder on my phone each day of my goal and why it
Defining Change Change can be defined as an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another, the result of alteration or modification, to lay aside, abandon, or leave for another, become different in essence; to lose one's or its original nature, to make different; cause a transformation, or to make or become different in some particular way, without permanently losing one's or its former characteristics or essence. There are many different views as to the complexity of change. Some may believe change is an illusion and nothing ever really changes. However, the majority, such as the post structuralism theorists, believe that change is inevitable. Change can be viewed
After looking back at my behavior for the past three days I noticed that I have the mentality of wanting to do physical exercise, but lack the motivation and the discipline. I realized that I was stuck in the contemplation phase of as the transtheoretical model of behavior change explains. In order to to improve my behavior as emphasized in class, I needed more to work on the pros and cons that come with the behavior change and set a specific goal. The goal I decided to place for myself is to engage in some sort of physical activity for at least 30 minutes every other day. I included some self-reinforcements as in the book titled Health Psychology introduced in page 52, in order to keep the health behavior steady and not lose focus on the goal
I scored the lowest on Wellness and Moving section, which means that I do not move that much throughout the day. I would like to try and change this because this is very beneficial in maintaining health. Excercising regularly can help reduce the risks of getting many illnesses, so I would like to try and excercise more often and improve on my Wellness in Moving. This can help me make a lifestyle change because in order to improve on this area, I would have to put time into exercising, which means that I would have to reduce the time I spend on playing video games and use that time to walk my dog or go to the gym. I think I would be successful with my change because I usually try my best to achieve my goal. So, if I set up a goal, such as trying
A successful person chooses goals to achieve something that is of great value and importance to them. This in turn motivates the person to achieve the goal because when the desired outcome is very important to a person, that person will be determined to persevere. Goal setting also improves a person 's organizational and time management skills because goal setting requires prioritization and that leads to the successful and sequential completion of necessary tasks. Once a person defines and prioritizes goals a plan should be drawn out detailing how this goal will be achieved. Goals and the time-line for their completion should be clearly defined, it is also important that a person 's
