Our levels of motivation hardly ever stay the same. Some days, we may have a very strong desire to change a habit and then the following day we may feel far less determined. Other times, we may not view a habit as a problem but feel persuaded or coaxed into making certain changes by someone close to us. Can you think of an example of a specific behaviour that you or a friend felt like changing but had mixed feelings about? It could be something ordinary, such as exercising, having a healthy diet or going to bed early. Perhaps you were persuaded by someone else to try this and despite initial enthusiasm, there were times when it felt difficult to persevere.
