Change is a process, not an event

Have you ever thought about changing personal behavior, perhaps ending an undesirable habit? Considered losing weight, ending tobacco use, exercising more, or becoming more positive in your thinking? If so, did following through on making this change ever become difficult, perhaps seemingly impossible? And if so, was the end result to resort to "old habits"? This group is designed as a place where posing questions about and sharing information related to changing personal behaviors and promoting positive thinking can easily be accomplished. Some things that might be appropriate for discussion on this group include questions like: * How can I stop doing "X" or start doing "Y"? * Has anyone successfully dealt with procrastination? * Has anyone read any articles or books on time management you would recommend? The group may include behavior change tips like: * It is easier to lose a pound a week for 25 weeks than it is to lose 25 pounds. * Instead of avoiding something negative do something positive in its place. * To exercise more check the health app on your phone or wear a pedometer to track steps - shoot for 5,000...perhaps 10,000 steps a day. The group may include links to online resources, articles, or videos like: * To calculate blood alcohol after "X" drinks in "Y" time - https://www.responsibility.org/drink-responsibly/bac-calculator/ * Strategies for evoking change talk - https://tinyurl.com/yy62y7jh * The importance of listening in a conversation - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4EDhdAHrOg In short, this group is intended to be a public space where information, ideas, and questions related to accomplishing behavior change, and pursuing positive thinking is possible. It is not intended to be a counseling center where therapy is conducted or counseling services are provided. It is simply a public space for the exchange of ideas related to personal behavior change and positive thinking. I trust you will find this group interesting and personally motivating.
