Changins is tough! And I find it scary too. It brings about the unknown! But it is worth it. Getting healthier and happier is worth the efforts however great it is.

So antecedent: Any situation that has to many unknown factors scares me. I have fear of the unknown. 

So then I avoid....

Consequences: I feel lame and beat myself over the head for being such a chicken.

Is this what you meant Breanne? Am trying to understand by doing lol!

Members,
Changing your behaviour is NOT easy. Much of our behaviour is learned and over the years as we change, grow and develop breaking these habits can be tougher than we expected. Actions and behaviours are embedded in context for example, if you are shy and you step into a room full of people it is probably enough to make you feel uncomfortable. Your reaction to certain situations or people may lead you to wanting a drink. To change this behaviour it’s important to learn what stimulates your actions (antecedents), and the affects of your behaviour (consequences).  Over the course of this week brainstorm and share with us some of your antecedents and consequences.
