I’m trying to study for my Psychology course and I need some help to understand this question.Choose a Behavior to ModifyIdentify one behavior you would like to change this semester. Make it a S.M.A.R.T. behavior change goal: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant to you, and Time-Limited. In other words, a good behavior to choose is an observable behavior, habit, or routine that you can reasonably try to change this semester and that is important to you personally.
Here are some examples of common behaviors that students have chosen in recent semesters: -Reducing or cutting out soda and/or coffee consumption-Improving sleep habits-Increasing study time-Quitting nail biting, lip-biting, hair-pulling (any nervous, mindless, or distracted habit)-Cutting out chips or other snacking; increasing healthy eating-Increasing exercise-Saving money2. Submit a paragraph (100-200 words) describing:The specific behavior you would like to change
How you would it to change in a specific and measurable (observable, quantifiable) way this semester
A few reasons why this change is important to you
Example paragraph: “I’d like to reduce my caffeine use. Right now, I drink about three caffeinated beverages per day, sometimes more, and I’d like to reduce that to no more than a coffee in the morning. Right now, I feel like I need caffeine in the afternoon to stay alert, and I don’t like feeling like I’m dependent on it. I also spend too much money on it. Finally, I hear reducing caffeine use can decrease anxiety. I’m already stressed this semester, so I think this is one behavior I can change to better manage stress. This is important to me because I value being a relaxed and focused person. I think it will help me achieve my goals and save money too.”Paragraphs will be graded for writing quality (complete sentences, spelling, grammar, and clarity), and I will also give feedback that might help you clarify your S.M.A.R.T. behavior modification project goal
