Behaviors Connection: Overcoming Self-defeating behaviors

You've heard of these, no doubt. And you've heard people say, "You're your own worst enemy." Well, you are also your own best friend.

These courses,  prepared by Dr. Jay Prince, a licensed psychologist, can make an enormous difference in your life. Dr. Prince will walk you through the processes that create problems in your life and in your career.

The self-improvement process of these courses is exactly the same process you would go through in professional treatment, but you do it yourself (or with a friend) at a much lower cost. Each course consists of a guidance document you read as you work through the underlying issues of your problem.

These courses are part of the Scenarios for Success series.

  • Behavior: Aggressiveness. Conquering aggressiveness: This course teaches you how to identify, then change, what it is about you that makes you come across as too aggressive--perhaps like a bulldozer.
  • Behavior: Loudness. Toning down your loudness. Do people seem stand away from you when you talk? Do they give you other signals that you are too loud, such as ending the conversation before you are doing talking, talking very loudly or very quietly to you, or coming across as annoyed? Do people "shush" you, complain you are loud, or wince when you talk? If so, you need to take a close look at why you are too loud and how to tone that down. This course provides the necessary insight.
  • Behavior: Miserliness. Be a miser no more: Do others consider you a cheapskate? Do you have a hard time parting with even a little money, though doing so would benefit your career, health, and personal relationships? Would you like to have a more realistic and effective way of handling your money, without going broke? If so, this course provides you with the process for reaching that point in your maturity.
  • Behavior: Nagging. Overcoming your need to nag: Buy this course. Buy this course. Buy this course. Buy this course. If you haven't bought this course, despite our repeated admonitions, you are living proof that nagging doesn't work. Why do you do it, then? Dr. Prince reveals why, and shows you how to change that behavior to an approach that does work--and that doesn't leave you feeling frustrated and defeated. 
  • Behavior: Negativity. Overcoming negativity: This course helps you understand some of the sources of moody and pessimistic behavior patterns while guiding you toward managing negativity, developing a more positive outlook, and coping with your emotions more effectively.
  • Behavior: Obsessive Cleaning. Getting gritty with the Mr. Clean problem. A certain amount of cleanliness, orderliness, and hygiene is essential. And it's very good to be clean, orderly, and hygienic. However, doing so to an extreme provides no health benefits and results only in wasted efforts, lost opportunities, and ruined relationships. Find out what drives you to go overboard in this regard, and how to get back on center.
  • Behavior: Overeating. Overcoming overeating: You've tried one diet after another, and nothing works. The problem is not your glands, nor is it that sensible eating doesn't work for you. The problem is compulsiveness inside the framework of food. By solving the compulsiveness problem rather than the food problem, you can overcome overeating.
  • Behavior: Perfectionism. Moderate perfectionism for the best results: Perfectionism is a behavioral malady characterized by unrealistic standards that add little or no value to the final outcome. The energy required to go from very good to perfect actually lowers the total positive output possible. Perfectionists may overachieve in one area, but typically underachieve in all areas. Perfectionists sacrifice their own happiness and sense of well-being on the altar of the impractical, irritate others, and lose out on what really matters. This course shows you how to rise from that situation to one that is sustainable and rewarding.
  • Behavior: Procrastination. Putting procrastination behind you--now: Why wait any longer to solve your procrastination problem? Your first step on the road to recovery is to buy this course. Your next step is to use what you learn to put procrastination behind you forever. Tired of having people see you as an "unreliable last minute Johnny?" If so, you just need to take that first step.
  • Behavior: Shyness. You can stop being a wallflower. People who are shy often wear their shyness as a badge of honor. In reality, shyness sends a message to others that you don't deserve the respect that may otherwise be due you. It also isolates you from situations and opportunities that can bring great personal and career rewards. Shyness prevents you from having the life fulfillment you deserve. This course will show you how to break through the shyness barrier.
  • Behavior: Slovenliness. Sweeping slovenliness out of your life: Sloppiness, packratting, and disorganization are preventable behaviors that can alienate you from others. They are also behaviors that waste your time and put a damper on your aspirations. This course is not another "how to file your papers" lesson, but is, instead, a way for you to understand and correct the deep-seated causes of your messiness.
  • Behavior: Slowness. Speeding up from slowness: This course helps you gain a better understanding of your slower work pace, while guiding you to better meet deadlines, overcome procrastination, and increase your energy levels. You don't have to be the "tortoise" any longer!
  • Behavior: Submissiveness. Stop being a doormat: This course teaches you how to identify, then change, what it is about you that makes you come across as a doormat. You are often unclear about what you want to do in a team situation or in group settings, and but one thing you are very clear about is you don't wish to offend others. You go out of your way to accommodate others, but can't understand why they don't value that and many times don't value you as a person. You don't have to be a doormat every again!
  • Behavior: Slowness. Talkativity. Now you can change your chatterbox image. You know your constant chatter irritates others and weakens relationships. Yet, you can't seem to stop talking. Sometimes, you bore even yourself. This course helps you strike the right balance between noise and silence--a point called communication.
  • Behavior: Whisperer or Undertalker. You can overcome your inability to speak up. You have often wished others would listen to you, but when the time comes to speak up, you either don't have the words or you don't speak loudly or clearly enough for others to understand. Why do you sabotage yourself this way? This course will show you that, and help you become communicative.

The self-improvement process of these courses is exactly the same process you would go through in professional treatment, but you do it yourself (or with a friend) at a much lower cost. Each course consists of a guidance document you read as you work through the underlying issues of your problem.
