Title: Discuss point-of-decision-prompts as an environment control and, using examples, explain how you can ... Post by: Bboggie17 on Jan 22, 2018 You can create an environment in which exceptions become the norm, and then the norm can flourish. You may leave yourself reminders or prompts that you are likely to see as you are making healthy choices. Such reminders, also referred to as point-of-decision-prompts, have been used successfully on a public level. For example, reminders on soda machines that calories count encourage consumers to look at the calories listed by each soda selection prior to making a choice. You can also place notes to yourself on the refrigerator and pantry to avoid unnecessary snacking. Put baby carrots or sugarless gum where you used to put cigarettes. Post notes around the house to remind you of your exercise time. Leave exercise shoes and clothing by the door so they are visible as you walk into your home. Instead of bringing home cookies for snacks, bring fruit. Put an electric timer on the TV so it will shut off automatically at 7:00 p.m. All of these tactics will be helpful throughout the action, maintenance, and termination/adoption stages.
