I am wondering what we know from dieting, addiction, and so on that gives us information on how to change one's lifestyle. While I know individual choices are not the only thing to blame when you have airlines running empty flights for stupid human-made reasons; individual actions mean the start of a trend that permeates offices, communities, churches, gyms, stores, etc until it dominates society. So what are proven techniques that stimulate change?
I’m probably just an anxious bunny mum, but since I got Deborah spayed, she has been very territorial and shown some aggressive behaviours.
The vet said she’s recovering well and I understand this was a traumatic event for her but I miss how sweet and cuddling she used to be.
Anyone had a similar experience? Any advice are welcome!
So... just what title says. Of course I’m talking about real, scientific theories, not ‘theories’ such as MMT. Im particularly interested in what has been found/developed in the 21st century.
Behavioural inertia refers to changing how you do something, usually.
E.g. "Environmental campaigns sometimes fail because of behavioral intertia associated with adopting new practices."
But what if the inertia i'm referring to here involves starting something completely new, but you're not doing it because you're just reluctant and can't be fussed to add something foreign to your routine.

>How can we help a family to include a variety of foods in their diet to reduce the risk of under nutrition?
> Those who are interested in the more practical aspects of how to intervene can go straight to PART 2 for more operational guidance. However, PART 1 is important if you want to understand the rationale for the use of specific techniques. It will also be useful if you are required to carry out technical training sessions.

The model proposes 5 main phases or stages:
>1. Precontemplation (“not ready to change”): the stage in which people are not intending to take action to change the target behaviour in the next few months
>
> 2. Contemplation (“getting ready to change”): the stage in which people are considering the possibility of changing in the future, and they are beginning to think about the “pros” and “cons” of change.
>
>3. Preparation (“ready to change”): the stage in which people are clearly intending to take action in the immediate future (days or weeks), and have begun active preparations for the behaviour change.
>
> 4. Action: the stage in which people have actively taken explicit, overt, actions in the past weeks or months to modify their behaviour.
>
>5. Maintenance: the stage in which people try to maintain and stabilize change, preventing relapses.^(20, 21)

Hi! I started interning with a foundation that does groundwork in rural southern India.
My supervisor asked me to prepare modules for 'behavioural change' and 'conflict resolution.
I'd be grateful if you all can guide me towards resources (case studies, theories, researches or practical guides) covering either of these.
One resource I came across was Kurt Lewin- Model of change.
I’ve been making this video series with my parents (both of whom are therapists) about different mental fitness strategies, this week is about Control in Life & Relationships.
Hope you find it helpful :)
I'm wondering how this could've happened. She's 1.5 year old, extremely intelligent and well behaved, knows many tricks, can walk on a leash etc.
But she needed to play - all the time -. Every moment of her life is just her waiting for me to play with her. She sometimes can be a bit of a pest about it, even though I do play a long time with her every day. She will insist and meow more and more, which is a behaviour I try not to reward and instead go play with her when she's not being annoying.
So recently there was a storm that forced my front door opened, she ran away in the storm and came back 2 days later. Ever since, she's been 10x more cuddly and quiet. She almost never asks to play anymore, and doesn't seem to care for it so much. She has been more "emotionally" dependant, a lot more quiet, and a lot less active.
What happened in my cat's mind, what could explain this change? It's like she suddenly "grew up"
Some people believe in the hierarchy of needs and others believe in its successor ESG theory but what if instead we just have a predetermined number of problems in our lives
Celebrities and lottery winners given enough time to adjust to their circumstances are no happier then single mums or car crash victims. As one problem disappears given enough time another more abstract one disappears and vice versa
Note I am not an expert and this is just a hypothesis, feel free to correct me if I’ve missed something in coming to my conclusion
I’ve been making this video series with my parents (both of whom are therapists) about different mental fitness strategies, & this week is an intro to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, along with a great workbook recommendation.

My 10-month-old girl Matilda started acting very different a few days ago, and we're a bit worried since the change has been so sudden. Three days ago, she started climbing on us and licking/nibbling our ears and faces while dooking continuously, and she does this most of the time that she's awake and not eating. She also constantly climbs into our sleeves and under our shirts and tries to stash us under furniture (by gently biting our fingers). It honestly is much weirder than what it sounds from this, I'm having a hard time describing the extent of it.
She's never done any of this before (she was always a sweet girl, but didn't really care to cuddle with us unless she was sleepy) and it's now all she does, totally out of the blue. Does anyone else's ferret act like this? Has anyone's ferret had a sudden behavioural change, and could it possibly be indicative of a health issue? We're thinking of calling the vet tomorrow, but we just had both our ferrets spayed and vaccinated a month ago, so we're a bit low on funds at the moment and don't want to take her in if it's nothing to worry about. Any advice/stories would be appreciated!
I never nip trained my ferret because I thought her biting was cute and funny, I also didn't mind her using me as a punching bag. Weird thing though, she eventually just stopped biting, even though I never trained her to stop, in fact, I often tried to rev her up. She use to really have fun sinking her teeth into my flesh lol but now she would rather walk onto my lap, cuddle and fall asleep. I have had her since really young, like 6 weeks, and now she is about 7 months old, she has really mellowed out. She is such a perfect little ferret now, all she does is chill, explore, play a little, but never bites me, the only naughty thing she does is try to steal the socks off of my brother's. I don't understand how she managed to realise that human's skin is not fit for the whole biting thing because she didn't learn it from me lol. It is really annoying when people say ferrets are vicious animals and not good pets, because despite my horrible nip training, my ferret is as tame as can be. She loves to do tricks for treats, she loves to cuddle, she loves to bring her toys to the food bowl so they can have a snack. She is such a magic little ferret
So earlier today some of us on the Discord were discussing the two "types" of Newtype that were given names by Snail. The two types were the Yuitype and the Laintype, which was basically a spectrum of bubbly extrovert idiot to reserved introvert genius or something like that. This led us to thinking about what other Neurotypes might have semi-prominent Behavioural types. One thing (And I think the only example) we thought of was how Asuka is a different type of Overseer or something.
I don't remember much of this conversation but it was neat if i remember correctly.
I know neurotype isn't supposed to be indicative of behaviour, but what do you guys think are common 'behavioural types' for certain neurotypes?
The planet does not need money, it needs behavioural change. By someone really wise
The planet does not need money, it needs behavioural change.
My 4 month old female ferret is suddenly acting out. I'm not sure what happened or what triggered this but it's really worrying me.
It started about a week ago. She's been afraid of me and not trusting me like she did before. Before last week, she would come to my hand, lick my nose when I wake her up, do her usual potty routine before playtime. Normal ferret things for a happy ferret (from what I've seen and read). Flash to last week and now she runs from my hands, refuses to give me licks like she use to (I don't force her, just hold her to my face like before and nothing.) And she even tries biting now and again which is also something she never did before. She only recently started using her potty before playtime again (granted she tries to fake it but she always did that in the past) so that's "normal" again.
At first I thought it was her boredom. My apartment situation is bad so she never got much free time and little space that is locked to a marshalls small animal pen. But with her behavior problems and me thinking this was the issue, I have now made her space be a entire bedroom (and obvious ferret proofed it) and give her more time outside her cage.
Other than that, I don't think I did anything else. I always treated her the same since day one and I didnt hurt her or anything to make her not trust me besides a scruff or few when she would chew on something she isn't supposed to or bite me or my boyfriend.
Now I'm a new ferret owner starting a month ago now so I haven't had her awhile but her quick trusting me was a surprise as I read a lot that said it would take awhile. Is this just that? Was I wrong to think she trusted me already based on her previous behavior or is something wrong? I'm just really confused what I did if anything or what's going on. Is this normal for a young ferret? Is there something I may of done unknowingly? She used to be such a little sweetheart but now it's almost a bratty behavior out of nowhere and normally I'd put it to normal ferret personality since I've read stuff of bratty ferrets but it's the sudden change that concerns me.
Sorry for the lengthy post as my first one on here. I just don't have ideas and the worry and stress of it is faulting my judgement so I needed to get an outside perspective/advice on this.
