Behavior Modification and Change
The reality is that our behavior influences our health and wellness. This means that the things that we do in response to internal and external events, whether overt or covert, can affect quality of life. Examples of unhealthy behaviors that directly impact individual health and wellness include smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, unhealthy eating, abuse of prescription medications, limited or no physical activity, and stress. These in turn, can lead to such health conditions as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, substance abuse and dependence, and depression. Furthermore, they can negatively impact relationships, finances, careers, and families.
