Long Term Commitment To A Worthy Cause

Jillian Davis Professor Chatkoff Health Psychology November 25, 2014 Behavior Change Project: Theoretical Analysis This behavior change project has become a huge part of my everyday life.

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

As the famous bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger once said, “Training gives us an outlet for suppressed energies created by stress and thus tones the spirit just as exercise conditions the body.” During my 3 years of training, I learned much about what it takes to make an out of shape person to a healthy and fit person with just the right decisions and knowledge.

After all, who wants to be lazy and be in pain every time she
