Possible article topics include different methods of achieving the behavior change and/or the pro or cons of different strategies. Include the following information, in a one to two page paper using APA format:

Paragraph 1
Restate your measurable objective from Part 1. Provide a specific plan on how you’re going to reach this goal. Your plan should include a sample daily schedule, a start date, and end date, mini-goals to reach throughout the project (if applicable), and built in rewards for staying on track.

Paragraph 2
Explain what barriers have kept you from changing this behavior before. How do you plan to overcome those barriers now? (Hint: Willpower and Determination aren’t going to work. What can you do, specifically, to overcome barriers that you might encounter?)

Paragraph 3
Explain what you plan is for relapse. Chances are, you are going to relapse at some point during this project. Having a set relapse plan in place is a key to success.

Paragraph 4
Find a second article related to your behavior change, and explain how this article assisted you with overcoming barriers, making measurable objectives for your situation, or formulating a relapse strategy. **This paragraph will have an in-text citation, citing your article.

Once you create your plan and set your start date, start working on changing your behavior as outlined in your plan. Keep a daily log of your progress. Your log should include the date, track how you did that day, and include information on your mood and/or successes and failures that day. The more you track, the easier it’ll be to track your progress and see where you can improve your plan. You’ll be creaticixng a blog each week with all of your log data in it.
