Step 1: Reward Yourself

Ask any bystander on the street for the secret of change and you will invariably receive answers like: “It only takes motivation.” “You need to be really psyched!” “Lots of commitment.” These answers are partly accurate.
But science tells us that self-change also requires skills. One of the colossal mistakes people make when trying to change is overestimating the value of motivation while underestimating learnable skills and rewards.
We will avoid that mistake here; you’ll learn how to reward yourself while changing AND to reward yourself for changing behavior. This path features the specific methods, examples, and Check Yourself exercises.
