Behavior change method

Behavior change method is like teaching your brain to do something new. Just like learning to write or ride a bike, it takes practice and patience to change your behavior or habits.

Imagine you want to eat healthy foods, but you love eating candies and chips all the time. To change this behavior, first, you need to decide what healthy foods you want to eat. Then you can start by slowly eating a little bit of healthy food every day while slowly reducing the amount of candy and chips you eat. It is essential to be patient and take small steps at a time, and eventually, your brain will start to enjoy healthy foods more than junk food.

Behavior change method helps you to break away from unwanted habits and helps you to form healthy habits that can lead to a happier and healthier lifestyle. It's like making a promise to yourself to make positive changes, step by step, until you reach your goal.
