Lesson 5: How We Think Impacts How We Act - Slide 28

Developing Skills Requires Participation, Time And Repetition
- You need to be an active participant
in the skills training process and address your real problems
- The more passive you are, the less likely you will use the new skills
when you leave the program
- Homework activities are compulsory so you become motivated through action rather than waiting for a feeling to move them to action
