Book 3 Practical Skills For Lasting Behaviour Change

Have you ever wanted, or even tried to change your own behaviour or the behaviour of other people? No doubt the answer is yes. Have your attempts at behaviour change been successful in the short-term as well as the long-term? All too frequently the answer is no. Our society is filled with an array of behaviour change strategies that all fall under the category of management, relief and solution-based strategies; and herein lays the error. It is these strategies that are failing our society as a whole as at the very best, they offer short-term behaviour change, but rarely LASTING change. When observing what is going on on a daily basis, you will see behaviour challenges in the areas of education, mental health, justice, disability and that society as a whole is getting worse. This does not make sense in a world where there are more resources than ever before … unless of course, our current resources are not truly supporting. The Body Life Skills program embraces that lasting change is our way forward if we are to bring true change to the quality of the life of individuals, families, workplaces and society as a whole. This third book in the Body Life Skills series introduces simple, practical and effective ways that will support lasting behaviour change in both a personal and professional capacity. This book offers a way forward to bring about: Lasting Behaviour Change

The Body Life Skills program offers a simple, practical, user friendly and life changing 3-step process that brings about lasting behaviour change. Individuals, families and industries related to challenging and/or unwanted behaviour, mental health and psychological well-being are reporting a steady rise in negative statistics.

The Body Life Skills program presents a series of books that will revolutionise Behaviour Change, Psychological Well-Being and Mental Health for all those ready and willing to take an honest look at the current approach and appreciate we need another way. The Body Life Skills program, when implemented successfully, brings about positive and lasting change for individuals, families, groups, organisations and government departments, even in cases when other attempts have failed. This series is for those who are serious about bringing true and lasting change. The Body Life Skills program is suitable for anyone ready to truly understand and change unwanted behaviour used by self or any other person right across the board.

Since 2006 when Fabic first began, we have been working with people from all walks of life ranging in age, culture, gender, developmental level, diagnosis, no diagnosis, etc. We have supported people with an array of challenges and the one thing everyone has had in common, is that they have been using behaviours and/or are working with people using behaviours they would prefer not to be using. There is much that can be taught in the clinical setting in regards to bringing lasting behaviour change; however, as I’ve always shared, it is not what happens in the clinic that will bring lasting change, rather what you choose to do with the information you have learnt when you go back to your everyday setting. One challenge, which remains ongoing for all people, is the consistency with generalising the skills learnt in the clinical setting to their everyday life and natural setting. The posters in this booklet have been developed to support the transition of the skills, principles and methodology used at Fabic into home, work, recreation – everywhere. We have designed this poster pack in a way that does not only offer visual charts that can be used in their relevant settings, but also provides a brief description about each of these charts. All posters are further expanded on with detailed descriptions, examples and instructions in the Body Life Skills books.

Helping Patients Outsmart Overeating, written by an eating disorder therapist and a physician, offers a new paradigm for doctors and health care providers who treat patients with eating and weight concerns. It describes how both parties are frustrated by weight-loss plans and programs that fail in the long term, and presents a science-based explanation for why diets fail and how they, in fact, may adversely impact patients’ mental and physical health. The authors illustrate how providers can truly help patients by using empathy, compassion, and motivational interviewing. They explain how helping patients strengthen skills related to self-awareness, emotional management, stress reduction, appetite attunement, perseverance and effective self-care can improve self-efficacy and support sustained motivation in improving health and wellness promoting behaviors. The issue of weight stigma is addressed, along with how professionals’ view of their own eating and weight affects the patient-provider relationship. This book introduces clinicians to tools from eating and success psychology, Intuitive Eating, Lifestyle Medicine, and Health and Wellness Coaching, within a weight-inclusive paradigm. It also details a collaborative model for working with ancillary disciplines to give patients and providers the comprehensive support needed for lasting success.

This insightful and personal handbook offers individuals from all walks of life a working guide to help them modify, improve, and change their behavior by replacing old patterns with more effective and productive ones.

Social problems in many domains, including health, education, social relationships, and the workplace, have their origins in human behavior. The documented links between behavior and social problems have compelled governments and organizations to prioritize and mobilize efforts to develop effective, evidence-based means to promote adaptive behavior change. In recognition of this impetus, The Handbook of Behavior Change provides comprehensive coverage of contemporary theory, research, and practice on behavior change. It summarizes current evidence-based approaches to behavior change in chapters authored by leading theorists, researchers, and practitioners from multiple disciplines, including psychology, sociology, behavioral science, economics, philosophy, and implementation science. It is the go-to resource for researchers, students, practitioners, and policy makers looking for current knowledge on behavior change and guidance on how to develop effective interventions to change behavior.

The New York Times bestselling guide to leading positive change in any organization―updated with critical new insights, research, and case studies The world-renowned leadership experts that brought us the leadership classic Crucial Conversations have fully updated their bestselling Crucial Influence (originally published as Influencer). In these pages, they reveal that fewer than one in eight behavior change efforts is successful—and most produce nothing more than wasted resources and organization-wide cynicism. The solution to this challenge isn’t easy, but it is simple. It’s all about the strategic application of influence—systematic and intentional actions aimed at helping people improve results by changing their behavior—a practice most leaders have yet to fully understand and embrace. Crucial Influence walks you through the process of identifying the personal, social, and structural levers that influence both motivation and ability, then engaging these levers for directed behavior change. “At the end of the day, leadership is intentional influence,” the authors write. “If behavior isn’t changing, you aren’t leading.” Whatever you’re seeking to change through effective leadership—from making virtual workforces work to tackling a social issue—influence, not authority, is what will get you there. You’ll learn to view leadership through the new lens of influence as you apply the lessons from this book to everyday challenges. New to this edition: Updated stories and examples using the Crucial Influence model The authors’ latest research on behavior change Practical applications for everyday leadership challenges New case studies and business examples
