Question

Apply Behavior and Cognitive Behavior Therapy to yourself for a behavior change (e.g., practice meditation). Next, design, implement, and evaluate your self-change program.

Design: Consider the following questions as you design your program:

- What specific behavior do you want to change?
- What specific actions will help you reach this goal?
- What self-monitoring devices can you use to keep a record of your progress?
- What reinforcements (self-rewards) will you use as a way to carry out your plans?
- What cognitions do you anticipate encountering as you implement your program?
- Implement: Begin your self-change program and work on your self-change program for at least three days.

Evaluate: After you have completed your self-change program, provide the process and experience. When relating your experience be sure to use theory-specific language, support your points with scholarly sources, and address the following areas:

- What specific behavior(s) were targeted?
- What were your goals?
- What specific actions did you take to help you reach your goal?
- What self-monitoring devices did you use to keep a record of your progress?
- What reinforcements (self-rewards) did you use as a way of carrying out your plan?
- How well did your plan for change work? What revisions are necessary for your plan to work more effectively?
- What did you notice about your beliefs about yourself during this process?
- How did you respond to the beliefs that emerged?
- How might these theories for facilitate optimal development and wellness over the life span?
- What modifications might need to occur to make these techniques appropriate for diverse populations?
