Behaviour Modification Disaster

The disasters in behaviour modification happens due to following reasons:
1. Attempt to change a behavior despite of its indispensability. For example ruling out fat in our diet despite of the fact that it should be reduced but removing it from the menu is not at all desirable.
2. Try to Imitate Others- This type of  change never lasts long. There were many people who wanted to look like John Travolta in late seventies but I doubt if any of them tried to continue that look after 2 or 3 years.
3. Pretentious Behavior: There are many people who learn to hide their true emotions after going through some corporate training or self help book. Corporate Trainings are meant to teach you to look positive aspects of worse things in your life.  However, too much suppression of emotion trap such fools in the endless cycle of adversity where they even forget to talk negatively about the real negativeness of life. The only outbursts that these people have is abnormal blood pressure or depression.
4. Modification in Daily Routine: You read somewhere that you should sleep for 7 hours, get up early in the morning , take a long walk, visit religious place and other blah blah plans for improving the quality of life. You get impressed that once you introduce the behavioural changes things would improve but the very intent of these changes add extra burden in your daily life and that is of implementing these changes which never happen properly.
5. Inspiration or Infatuation: You hear the blah blah of your favorite politician or actor or celebrity and decided to follow the life of truthfulness, trust, wisdom, enlightenment. While getting impressed you even forget that the person might be speaking a well rehearsed script to impress others. But you know things happen , I would not be amazed if people want to follow and learn about fidelity and upbringing of children from the likes of Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, Bill Clinton, Narendra Modi etc.
