The triangle is central to the Changeways Philosophy as is the knowledge that behavior and thoughts are easier to change then emotions. The goals of the program grow out of this understanding of the vital role of goal oriented action in the maintenance of peak mental effectiveness. (this means that goal action works best with positive thinking.)
Goal #1: Learn to set and attain personal goals
Hoping for a change in one’s life does not bring about change. It is important to set concrete goals for yourself so that you know what you are working toward.
Goal # 2: Become a better communicator
Setting goals is not enough. For goals to be effective they must be acted upon. Anticipating and dealing with difficulties before they worsen can have remarkable effects on confidence and mood.
Goal # 3: Learn about yourself and your state of mind
By learning about stress you learn the relationship stress has to choices you make, and how you make those choices. Knowing your values can help you stay on track.
Goal # 4: Dealing with Emotions
Most people have certain automatic thoughts which are unrealistic, distorted, or focus too much on the negative. To assume is to make an “Ass out of u and me”. It is possible to become aware of these thoughts and alter them.
Goal # 5: Finding Balance
Everyone has periods of anxiety, depressed mood, relationship issues or dissatisfaction, and for some, this can take on a different direction. Learning to accept and deal with difficult phases can help prevent them from continuing and getting worse.
Goal # 6: Taking Care of you:
One of the most important things you can do is take care of yourself. If you do not take time for yourself, then who will? Leisure and cultivating social skills can help one feel more balanced.
