Part 4: Create a Helpful Environment

This section looked at ways to create a helpful physical, social, and mental environment. Designing helpful environments can make it easier to change behaviors. Answer these questions:

•  What changes have you made to your physical environment (e.g., pantry, kitchen countertops, plate size)? How have these changes helped you make healthier choices?

•  What changes have you made to your social environment (e.g., being assertive, changing social media habits)? How have these changes helped you make healthier choices?

•  What changes have you made to your mental environment (e.g., banishing black and white thinking, saying nice things to yourself)? How have these changes helped you make healthier choices?

The next section focuses on physical activity and how to fit it into your daily routine. Start to think about your favorite ways to be active.
