Using self-monitoring to change behaviour
If you want to use self-monitoring to change your behaviors, there are things that you can do to identify, measure, and evaluate your own behaviors:
- identify a target behavior: Pick a specific behavior that you want to monitor and change.
- Choose a way to record behaviors: Mentally noting these behaviors is one way to increase awareness, but writing them down can also be useful.
- Set a schedule: Continuous self-monitoring is possible in some cases, but it may be more realistic to set a schedule where you check in with yourself and write down your measures for that time period.
