Select a goal: something that you would like to change about yourself. Perhaps you would like to stop smoking, or to control drinking, improve study habits, manage time better or change eating or exercise habits. It is critical that your goal be measurable, attainable, positive, and significant to you.\t\u00a0\tDescribe the goal as target behaviors. What specific behaviors do you want to increase or decrease? Break down your goals into attainable, measurable steps? Why is this goal(s) important to you?\u00a0 How will your life be different as a result of making these changes?\t\u00a0\tDescribe your means of monitoring your progress, such as a chart, or a behavioral diary.\t\u00a0\tSummarize how this program will “fit”\ufffd in your current life, and schedule, and your results(if you implemented it during the week), or your anticipated short and long-term goals. Describe how you will reward yourself for your progress.\t\u00a0\tSubmit a behavioral management contract that states all of the above points and specifies both internal and external consequences for actions in a realistic time frame, such as short-term rewards for adhering to the contract and a long-term reward for meeting the goals. References are optional and remember to submit your Certificate of Originality with any paper assignment, team or individual, that is submitted if you do cite\/reference other sources.\u00a0 The length of the contract is up to you, but be sure that it is long enough to cover all of the assignment requirements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
