• Overcoming Self-Defeating Behaviors
• Discover how behaviors can become stumbling blocks to change

Self-defeating behaviors can lead to the all-too-familiar, "I know what I need to do; I just can't seem to do it". Discover the origins of self-defeating behaviors and how they become barriers to achieving goals. Using well-founded strategies and the pencil and paper tools provided in this course, you will be able to transform destructive behavior patterns into life-enhancing patterns.

Team Members will earn 10 fit bucks for attending plus one fit buck for every guest they bring up to a maximum of 5.

5. Okay Captains here's your chance to shine! We need you to tell about your KGWO experience so far. Do you have more energy? Are your clothes fitting better? Are you less stressed? Are you sleeping better at night? Are you actually beginning to like exercise? J Do you have a good team story to share? Whatever your story is, we really want to hear it and record it on a commercial at KONG. We will be recording 2 commercials, one on Wednesday, March 23rd and one on Wednesday, March 30th from 11:30 - 12:30 pm. Please contact me (Bev) at 240-0169 or bbrody@hoolalahui.org ASAP to reserve your space. If you would like to send a member of your team in your place, please feel free to do so, just let me know who and on what day. Thanks!

6. One last thing: Please remember to be "Guest Smart"! In order to receive credit for bringing a guest to an event, you must physically bring them to the event. You can not arrive at the event and then look around for people to be your guests... NO, NO, NO! Me Too participants, family members, children and seniors all qualify as guests as long as YOU bring them and they can PARTICPATE in the event. Other team members DO NOT qualify as guests.
