Ever Wondered what really is a choice? Or used the phrase "what choice do I have?" Or told someone " you don't have a choice". Well let BSG's psychology team help with that.
CHOICE THEORY
Choice Theory , developed by Dr. William Glasser , is the explanation of human behavior based on internal motivation. As Dr. Glasser explains in the most recent of his widely read books, Choice Theory, all of our behavior is chosen as we continually attempt to meet one or more of the five basic needs that are part of our genetic structure.
An understanding of these needs as well as the other major components of Choice Theory (the Basic Needs, the Quality World , the Perceived World, the Comparing Place, and the Total Behavior System ) can help us build and maintain better relationships with the important people in our lives and lead happier, more satisfying lives.
The Ten Axioms of Choice Theory
1. The only person whose behavior we can control is our own.
2. All we can give another person is information.
3. All long-lasting psychological problems are relationship problems.
4. The problem relationship is always part of our present life.
5. What happened in the past has everything to do with what we are today, but we can only satisfy our basic needs right now and plan to continue satisfying them in the future.
6. We can only satisfy our needs by satisfying the pictures in our Quality World.
7. All we do is behave.
8. All behavior is Total Behavior and is made up of four components: acting, thinking, feeling and physiology
9. All Total Behavior is chosen, but we only have direct control over the acting and thinking components. We can only control our feeling and physiology indirectly through how we choose to act and think.
10. All Total Behavior is designated by verbs and named by the
part that is the most recognizable.

SIMPLE WAYS TO SHOW COURTESY
1. In case you miss a call, drop a message as soon as possible if
you're unable to call back.
2. Pay back borrowed money as soon as possible no matter how
little the amount is. Don't assume that they don't need it, and never make them ask you for it.
3. Turn the volume down when you're watching video, playing
music or playing a game on your phone in a public place or, better
yet, use headphones.
4. Don't press your phone or use headphones when someone is having a conversation with you.
Unplug the headsets from your ears even if nothing is playing
and give them your undivided attention.
5. When using someone else's phone or computer, don't go
through their stuff without permission.
6. Always leave the last piece of meat for the person who bought
it unless they insist they won't eat it.
7. Don't use loudspeaker of the phone to have a two person conversation
unless you are unable to hold the phone.
8. When someone else cooks for you, offer to help clean the kitchen.
9. If you stay the night at someone's house, make the bed or fold the blankets when you
leave.
10. Don't let your arguments escalate in public. Find some place else to continue arguing where others won't feel uncomfortable or interested.
11. If you ask your friends for help with some house work, feed
them as payment.
12. When someone buys you food or coffee, try to return the favour within a week (if you can).
13. When you borrow someone's car, fill up the tank as a way of
saying 'thank you.'
14. Don’t pick up a call while you are engaged in conversation
without excusing yourself.
15. Make sure you don't forget to return that book you borrowed.
16. When someone gives you a gift, no matter how small it is or
the way it was presented, even if
it isn't up to your expectation, just say 'Thank You.'
17. When you have someone older than you who is friendly and makes himself free with you, speak to them with respect.
18. Don't feel too big to be corrected or reject good advice
because you feel it's your life... Life is a ring; the next blow can
come anytime.
19. When you receive messages on social media, try and reply.
Don't feel too proud, maybe because you are a celebrity. Remember, no one knows tomorrow.
20. SHARE what you just read.
