This phase of the PROJECT incorporates writing about the 6 pieces listed below (2-3 pages). The purpose of this STEP is to bring all the information you have collected and learned into one place. I have summarized the information that you need in the paper below, but make sure you look at the rubric below to get the specific components of the paper.
I. Summarize your health plan and the health principles it represented. Include how you applied the 50% rule. Be sure to discuss how you changed your issue statement that may have been negatively worded to a positive goal statement with all three components required of goal statements. Also include how your pro and con score worked for or against you.
II. Describe the experience of trying to accomplish the goal. This area should include a summary of your daily JOURNAL entries and the weekly progress notes.
III. Thoroughly summarize the information you learned from each of your research resources including your one week baseline research.
IV. Describe what this experience taught you about yourself. To do this, you may want to reflect on your saboteurs and the power they had over you. Also consider what effect acting on the thoughts/behaviors that you thought would help your progress toward your goal. Did the little rewards help you or did you consider them “silly” and not take them seriously?
V. Discuss what you learned about making a health behavior change. Do you think you will try another in the future? Did you find anything you might like to do differently when trying to change health related behaviors in the future?
VI. Indicate whether you thought this project was worthwhile and why or why not.
