(Self-management) Behavioral Change Contract – 2-4 pages
? Utilize the information learned from your text, as well as
other sources.
? Develop a plan for a self-directed change for yourself.
? First, 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.
? Second, it is critical that your goal be measurable,
attainable, positive, and significant to you.
? Third, change the goal into target behaviors. What
specific behaviors do you want to increase or decrease?
? Fourth, choose a means of monitoring your progress, such
as a very specific chart or a behavioral diary.
? Finally, choosing a realistic time frame, write up a
comprehensive contract that states all of the above points and specifies both
internal and external consequences for actions, such as short-term rewards for
adhering to the contract and a long-term reward for meeting the goals.
? Add a visual aid/chart, power-point, to help present the
contract. Be creative and personalize it for your own use.
