Most of us can relate to setting goals and feeling very
motivated to accomplish those goals. Sometimes our motivation stays
strong and we reach the goal, and other times our motivation
falters and we fall short of the goal, often with promises to
ourselves that we will succeed "next time." Think about some times
when you felt especially motivated, perhaps with your schoolwork or
a new diet/exercise plan. What helped to keep your motivation
sustained? What are some of the obstacles you encountered that
caused your motivation to waver? Based on your past experience, and
based on the readings in this unit, what are some of the best ways
to maintain motivation in the long-term? Describe how stress can
affect your health. What do you believe are the best coping
techniques for dealing with stress, and why?
