The document describes three health-related changes the author made to their home environment. [1] The first was making weight tracking visible by writing it on a mirror, which increased accountability but failed to impact choices. [2] The second removed free soda and added preferred drinks, reducing soda intake but finding stress still triggered consumption. [3] The third change involved spending $40 weekly on health, allowing healthy purchases but not changing underlying feelings. Environmental changes provided insights and intermediate steps toward behavior change.
This document provides an overview of a 30-day program called "Instinctive Fitness" that aims to improve health and fitness by adopting eating and exercise patterns inspired by ancient human ancestors. The program encourages eating natural, unprocessed foods like meat, fruits and vegetables while limiting sugar, wheat and other modern processed foods. It claims this approach will provide steady energy levels, weight loss and other health benefits by aligning modern diets with what the body evolved to eat over millennia. The program is designed to transition participants gradually away from unhealthy foods and form new habits through baby steps over 30 days rather than making drastic overnight changes.
Becky starts walking regularly to alleviate loneliness from working from home, boost her mental health, and support her sister who has diabetes. She organizes walking groups with other homemakers to stay connected, discuss community news, and maintain her physical health. Walking provides Becky with social interaction, stress relief, and transportation around her new town as her car breaks down.
This document discusses the Darwinian Variability Model of Motivation. It proposes that motivation arises from an unmet need forming latently and waiting to be fulfilled when a "variation" leads to a "Change Trigger" that catalyzes action. Variations in the environment provide opportunities for change, acting as an input that can make change easier or harder. Change Triggers are specific variations that spur action by being the "right type" of variation, similar to genetic mutations that drive evolution. For motivation to evolve into a new adaptation, feedback loops between the environment and person must reward changes through behavioral evolution. Predictable Change Triggers include repeating phases, known one-time changes, and milestones.
The document discusses interviews conducted with three individuals - a 58-year-old mother, a 26-year-old startup founder, and a 64-year-old mother and part-time project manager - about their daily walking habits, finding that they each walk for both physical and mental health benefits and that social walking helps combat isolation, especially for those working from home.

This document provides a goal tracker worksheet for weight loss goals. It includes spaces to write down daily goals and how one feels throughout the day. The focus is on overall well-being rather than weight loss. An example is given from November 23-29, where goals included trying a new vegetable stir fry, going for walks, drinking water, doing jumping jacks, eating vegetarian, and denying junk food. Feelings ranged from feeling tired to feeling refreshed, bloated, silly, heavy, and irritable without sweets to feeling energized after exercise. Examples of goals are also provided.
Emotional eating is one of the biggest struggles for those trying to commit to a diet and exercise plan. When dieters experience a slip up, guilt often leads them to further overeat. The author provides three key points: 1) Minor slip ups are not a big deal and should not be overcompensated for with excessive dieting or exercise. 2) Occasional treats will not derail progress as long as binges are avoided. 3) Identifying emotional triggers for eating is important so healthier coping mechanisms can replace eating habits. Breaking the cycle of using food to cope with emotions requires willpower at first but pays off in the long run.

How to get unstuck, moving and productiveHugh Culver
We all get stuck, it could be sales, relationships, money, motivation, or health. We're human. The good news is being stuck is not a permanent state. Learn 10 ways to get unstuck, moving and productive again, including: get real, get physical, take a break, create a stop doing list, change your environment, be kind to yourself, let go of the past, get advice, create a deadline and create tiny wins. Hugh Culver is the best-selling author of Give Me A Break, past Ironman competitor, co-founder of Adventure Network (the world's only airline in Antarctica) and professional speaker.
Examples of How Changing Your Environment Can Change Healthy BehaviorCristina Leos
The author aimed to change three personal behaviors by structuring their environment: 1) Stop snacking between meals by not carrying cash or cards when in class. This was successful but problematic when they forgot and tried running errands. 2) Take a daily vitamin by placing the vitamins by their morning routine items. This embedded the habit successfully. 3) Follow a running training plan by creating an inspiration board near their running shoes to trigger daily exercise. This was also successful as it provided a needed trigger. The author found targeting their ability to snack was needed, while triggers worked for less difficult habits. They may next try more extreme environmental changes.
The document provides tips for breaking bad habits and developing good habits in the new year. It suggests focusing on changing one habit at a time for 30 days to make it a routine. Some key tips include replacing lost needs fulfilled by old habits, balancing feedback so changes are enjoyable, using accountability partners, writing commitments down, and being consistent in practicing habits daily for 30 days to fully form new routines. The overall message is that habits, good or bad, shape our lives and character, so making small consistent changes can lead to improved quality of life over time.
If you truly want to lose weight every day, you have to make sure you are consistently doing the best with what you have. The first key is applying discipline to your daily activities.

This document provides a summary of a guide to help people with diabetes better manage their condition using Stephen Covey's "7 Habits of Highly Effective People". It discusses each of the 7 habits and how they relate to the American Association of Diabetes Educators' "AADE7" self-care behaviors of healthy eating, being active, monitoring, taking medication, problem solving, healthy coping, and reducing risks. The document includes an action plan to help readers set goals in one self-care behavior at a time and find support from their medical team and social contacts.
Changing ingrained health behaviors is a complex, highly individualized task. It doesn’t happen in a straight line; the course is dotted with hills, valleys, plateaus, u-turns, and roundabouts. Neither small steps nor giant leaps alone are effective approaches to lasting behavior change; in this paper, we’ll show you why.
This document provides a book review and summary of The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy. It discusses key concepts from the book, including that big results come from small, consistent actions over time through the compound effect. Small choices compound to create habits, character, and destiny. The summary emphasizes taking responsibility for your life and choices, identifying and creating good habits while removing bad ones, and developing momentum through strong daily routines.
Never before in the human history, have we become so sick. Our health is at stake because we moved away from natural living. In this short guide, we explore the secrets that our ancestors knew to live healthy and a happy life. Unless we embrace a natural lifestyle, our well-being will remain a big question mark.
Losing weight is only one aspect of health - and flawed at that. We need to start over in our approach. This slide deck provides an improved approach and the habits you need to nurture back your health.
Learn How to Build and Cultivate Self-Discipline.pptxRobbia Rana
This document discusses how to build self-discipline through developing keystone habits. It explains that keystone habits are patterns that lead to transformations in multiple areas of life. Regular physical activity and food journaling are highlighted as powerful keystone habits. Other suggested keystone habits include meditation, waking up earlier, trying something new daily, saving money, and expressing gratitude. Introducing keystone habits makes it easier to achieve goals and develop other healthy behaviors without needing extreme self-discipline.
In this presentation, Dr. Caren Baruch-Feldman discusses weight loss strategies and the maintenance of good habits. Dr. Baruch-Feldman reviews key principles from Judith Beck's book The Beck Diet Solution: Train Your Brain to Think Like a Thin Person, and then discusses how to apply these principles to our own lives.
Dr. Baruch-Feldman is a licensed psychologist and a certified school psychologist. She has been on the EOT faculty since 2011. www.drbaruchfeldman.com

4. Health Change 1: Make Tracking Household Visible
Experiment: Boosting Accountability
Change 1: Make Weight Tracking Visible
What this changes...
- Makes Accountability a Household Activity
- Creates a Trigger
- Makes the logging Activity Easier
What happened
Failed: Weight went up - Perceived failure in impacting health choices
BUT...
Behavior Modified - Yoga in the morning + daily walk
Since this wasn’t ‘scale’ related I didn’t realize that is was happening
Conclusion - Boosts background awareness w/ micro choices
I started the tiny h
weigh myself ever
Insights:
to start a daily ritu
Felt “Scary” to make weight public - was a jumpstart
thinking of food c
Did impact behavior choices, but only until about noon

Change 1: Make Weight Tracking Visible
Goal: Stop Drinking Diet Coke all day
long at work
Design Opportunity:
Free Diet Coke in the kitchen at
work has made this habit hard to
stop.
so I
created a ‘water cooler’ area NOT
in the kitchen with all kinds of
happy things that I LIKE
I started the tiny h

6. Health Change 2: Kick Diet Coke to the Can
What this changes...
- Replaces a Trigger
- Re-Frames Reward (Free is a large Reward for me)
- Makes Easier because $ is already spent, and it’s closer in reach than diet coke
What happened
Successful, Sometimes
- I’m drinking atleast 3 cups of water daily.
- I’m choosing tea, most of the time when I feel like I need a lift
But when I’m stressed and I’m drained...Diet Coke is still my ‘Go To’
Insights:
2 Emergent Need Buckets: Cognitive Decisions & Involuntary Decisions
- I knew $ is a decision factor, but I didn’t realize HOW MUCH this drives
“rewards” on choices.

- Making Kombucha gives me a ‘weekly anchor’ to make sure that

Goal: Reframe “Rewards” to
spending money on health
Design Opportunity:
I dislike spending $, and this often
makes hard for me to chose
healthy options.
so I
Put $40 in my wallet that I MUST
spend each week on health items
(or I spend it on Household items)
I started the tiny h

8. Health Change 3: Changing My Wallet
What this changes...
- Separates “Expensive” from “Health” on daily activities
- It’s a Trigger when I make purchase decisions
- This is a build activity from an insight on #2
What happened
Successful, but not over the curve
- I give myself permission now to buy something like water
- I still don’t ‘feel’ right about it, and still have to convince myself that it’s ok
- When something is FREE, I can’t spend $ on alternative
Insights:
- Even if you don’t fully ‘believe’ the change...it makes room for other
behaviors, when 2 choices are close together in value.
- If I don’t feel good about spending $ on a healthy behavior, I will put a ‘to
do’ for another work around (like carrying a water Opportunity
Change bottle) on my activity
list for the next ‘high motivation’ wave moment, and since the activity is
now only ‘temporary’ I can live with it until the next interval.
