Amanda introduces the workshop on behaviour change, and the actions you need to take in order to make meaningful, lasting changes in your life. She reviews what the series will cover, and how it will provide you with necessary tools and systems to help you effectively form new habits.
In this section, Amanda challenges you to explore your reasonings and motivations for change. She will work through various exercises to help you find your WHY: your driving force for change, and factors that might be holding you back.
Explore how the quality behind your motivations can influence your behaviour and in turn, the success of behaviour change. Amanda dives into the Self Determination Theory, walks you through the motivation continuum, and where your motivations should be on the continuum to ensure a more sustainable, and persistent change.
Autonomy, competence and relatedness. Amanda discusses how prioritizing these three needs can work to build confidence, and strengthen our motivation and willingness for change.
Amanda discusses habits, habit formation and how to turn a deliberate, intentional behaviour into something that’s more automatic. She teaches you the importance of starting small and focusing on consistency to guide you to your healthy lifestyle changes.
We can all appreciate the value of a strong social support system, but are you aware of the many different avenues and kinds of support that are out there for you? Amanda discusses the importance of finding a support system based on your own needs and desires, and the varying types of support systems you can seek.
Initiating a new behaviour can be difficult but maintaining it can be even more challenging. Amanda explores how we can continue to hold ourselves accountable to our goals as well as preparing for and dealing with relapse.
