The Power of Choice Points and Functional Imagery Training

Choice points are key moments when a potential behavior conflicts with a core value, and they can either lead you closer to or further away from your goals. Psychologist Dr. Jonathan Rhodes explains that functional imagery training (FIT) allows individuals to imagine their goals in vivid detail, rooted in the addiction research framework. FIT helps divert thinking to positive and purpose-driven goals, enhancing motivation. Rhodes emphasizes the importance of both positive and negative imagery to drive behavior change. By using FIT, individuals can plan for obstacles, align their goals with their values, and empower themselves to make the decisions that will lead them to success.
