You’ll learn how to address the underlying causes of your inactivity and unhealthy eating. And you’ll learn four important principles of improving your behaviour:

Step 1: Build awareness. You’ll identify what good health and healthy habits mean to you, what’s keeping you from getting there, and how to learn from
past experiences.

Step 2: Create solutions. You’ll discover simple problem-solving techniques that will enable you to overcome your barriers to physical activity and healthy eating.

Step 3: Boost confidence. We’ll help you increase your sense of “I can!” You’ll learn how to change your self-defeating thought patterns into empowering messages.

Step 4: Sustain commitment. You’ll learn how to make physical activity and healthy eating permanent parts of your life through simple goal-setting techniques.
