Day 8: Sustain the firing!!

Goal: 7 am
Max. ammount of time allowed on the bed: 60 mins

This morning at 755 am, I overcame the barriers and found success by waking up within the allowed time. Self -efficacy, is an important element in predicting a successful change. With the belief that I am responsible for my own awaking behavior, I am able to control it. The early morning lecture was also one of the contributing factor because I like Stat lesson very much and I would not want to miss it.
I may get my reinforcer with one more hit in the next trial. I was very happy as my ultimate goal is getting closer and closer to me. I am able to grab it if I keep my pace for the rest of my program.


Today's moral lesson: Most of the time, our perception of the reality rather than the reality itself affects our thinking and behaviors. Therefore, we should always believe that we can make a change instead of being controlled by the environment.
