Aspies For Freedom

how do you start changing your behaviour?

By identifying the behaviour you wish to change, and deciding not to behave that way in the future.

This is often easier said than done.

Stella

First identify the behavior you wish to change.
Secondly, be sure its one your willing to change.
Thirdly, identify alternative behaviors to replace this behavior.
Next, decide which behaviors your willing to try to do instead.
Finnaly, practise doing the alternative behaviors you have chosen to do.

Things that can help -

if you have someone you can trust to ask for input and support.  

there are also books, courses, etc. out there

once you've got a plan, it takes practice, practice, practice - but it's better to have a safe and supportive place to try out a new behaviour or skill while you learn to master it.

answer: It only takes one, but the light bulb has to really want to change.
