Each citation is worth 5 points.Please, do not just outline the chapter. My focus in this paper is your personal relationship with the material. The data is a focus for you to share your own examples, experience, or comments. Please discuss how you may have or have not used this knowledge in the past and how you are going to apply it in the present and future, personally, academically and professionally. 35 points

Reference: The only reference required is the e-book, however, or it is considered plagiarism if you use do not give credit to the source. You don’t need a separate reference page if you are using one source since this is a brief paper.
BEHAVIOR CHANGE PROPOSAL: Change Your Brain; a e Your Destiny!
Due: Week; Tues.
“Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from
and make a brand new ending.” Author Carl Baird

(300 words) Please provide the word count for the body of the proposal.
Use the bolded headings as a format for your responses.

encouraged to be as detailed as possible.
FORMAT AND CONTENT
- State your Awareness of this goal and discuss your desire to change. The behavior
you want to acquire is the “target” behavior. Discuss fully how you behave now and how
you would rather behave and what the benefits would be for yourself and others. - Describe your Plan for Change step by step by defining the behavior which you will
implement and describe your plan for review of progress use clear, understandable
terms and avoiding generalities, such as “I want to be happier.” Make your goal attainable:
too easy is no challenge; too difficult results in frustration and failure; a moderate goal
will cause you to stretch and grow while able to achieve your goal. Utilize a 30 day time
frame. - Explain clearly how you will measure your progress. Ultimately a graph would
illustrate your results. The first 3 days of the project is the Baseline in which you
observe your behavior and then on Day 4 implement your new plan of action. If you
are implementing a new behavior, begin on Day 1 of your project. - *Provide a meaningful tangible reward for success contingent upon specifically
improving the target behavior. This means giving yourself a material item or participating
in a desired event, yet does not have to involve money. You may reward yourself during
the project for progress attained or wait until the end of the project. One of the most
self- sabotaging things students do is fail to reward themselves for their success. - * Provide a meaningful tangible consequence for failing to stay with your commitment to change or grow. This means that when you fail to perform you desired behavior.
