2. What can you do differently during Week 3 to reach your behavior change goals?
*One paragraph*
Please reference from this paragraph of how my Week 2 went: The first week of reaching my short-term goals has been going
well as I am mindful of my goals and behaviors. I am dedicated to be attentive of my “fight or flight” responses by taking
deep breaths during times of stress and anxiousness. I had a conversation with
my mom, and we do not have the same opiion about certain aspects of life, so I began to feel my
heart rate go up and body temperature rise. During these moments, I usually
start to raise my voice, however, when I sensed my body change, I waited 5
seconds and took deep breaths. I was able to communicate with my mom without
raising my voice or getting upset because the deep breaths helped me be sensible
of my mom and respect her opinion and feelings.
