Thanks so much to Jeffrey Jabick, LMHC from Professional Toolbox Consultants for his presentation last night at our support group meeting.Jeff spoke about natural barriers to change and tips for promoting effective change.
*******************************
Here are the tips for promoting effective change that we discussed last night:
1. State your goal in the "affirmative".
2. Make sure that your goal is behavioral in nature.
3. Be specific (how, when, where, how often, how much).
4. Identify how achieving your goal will benefit you.
5. Be aware of potential consequences and/or "costs".
6. Make sure that your goal is realistic.
7. Remember that change is often difficult and uncomfortable.
8. Write down your goal.
9. Share your goal with family and friends.
10. Monitor your progress.
11. Remember: "Progress not perfection"

As usual, thank you so much as well for giving generously of your time to answer questions one on one after your presentation.
'til next time,
