Why I Want To Change Essay

Improved Essays
The behavior that I wish to change is my ability to exercise daily, I work out but not enough and I would like to alter this behavior. When I do decide to go to the gym, I will go for three days straight, then I think I have results and stop going for a whole three months. Which isn’t healthy at all to do.

I will also decide on how long I want to lose weight, to do this I will set up realistic eating and exercise goals to help me achieve my plan. Another short term goal I have is sticking to a workout regimen. A lot of people go to the gym to workout but they don’t have any idea if they want to do cardio, legs, or back, so they just do a bunch of workout machines. I’m guilty of doing this as well.

If I can make this happen, I can assure that the people in my program are actually working out constantly instead of doing things the half way and being lazy about it. Another thing that I would change about the “max workouts” is trying to make it an online routine instead. If the customers had a virtual class that would connect them and an instructor together instead of giving them some step-by-step instructions with photos to show them how to do the

    My philosophy of change is based mainly on the cognitive approach, but also draws from the psychoanalytical approach. By merging these two together, there is an importance placed on past experiences and how they shape behaviours, feelings and cognitions of the individual in the present. Once this is understood, the therapist can help the individual learn to problem solve, as well as develop new ways of coping with stressful events. My view of human nature is that we are largely influenced by our thoughts, which can be helpful or can cause problems.…

I believe that I have grown throughout this school year. I have grown as a listener because back then I was not used to listening to poems without having a paper right in front of me.…
