Choose one area of your life (a specific behavior or belief system) where you do not feel like you are well adjusted. Based on this area submit a report and behavior modification plan covering the following points:
Part 1: Self-Analysis
What is the area of your life where you feel you could be better adjusted?
Explain how lack of adjustment in this area has created stress in and has negatively impacted your life.
Provide a background of how this behavior and/or belief system came to be.
What are the triggers or antecedents that trigger or impact this behavior and/or belief system?
How is your spiritual life impacted by this behavior and/or belief system?
Part 2: Research (In this section, you must pull information from a minimum of three scholarly sources.)
What are the benefits of living a well-adjusted life?
What are the long-term consequences of being maladjusted in the behavior and/or belief system that you identified in Part 1?
What strategies have others employed to become more adjusted in the behavior and/or belief system that you identified in Part 1?
What biblical insights can you apply to better understanding the need for growth in relation to this behavior and/or belief system?
Part 3: Behavior Modification Plan
Create a behavior modification plan for the behavior and/or belief system that you identified in Part 1.
What is your desired outcome?
What specific steps will you take to make the needed changes? What is the time frame for these steps?
How will you set up a system of accountability to help you make these changes?
What benefits do you believe you will receive in your day-to-day life if you are successful with your behavior modification plan? Will there be any benefits in your spiritual life?
