GAL=Getting a life. Going out with friends, new hair cut, new clothes, etc....Fun things that you do for yourself. These activities help you regain your own identity.
180= Positive changes to old behaviors.
Example (only an example...I am not saying this applies to you);
You would leave dishes in sink until you got around to doing them; Weakness-Unsanitary and messy Weakness-Poor example of tidiness for children Weakness-Husband complained about it, but you didn't listen
180-Starting cleaning dishes as soon as they are dirty
New strength-Teaches children to clean up by example New strength-House is cleaner and you can enjoy relaxing better New strength-Husband no longer complains about dishes (This isn't a reason for the 180, just an outcome)
There are tons of 180's-Working out, joining groups that you wouldn't have before, etc. It ties into evaluating your weaknesses I described above. If you are perpetually late...a 180 would be that you are perpetually early. You make these changes for you in an effort to make yourself a better person. Soon you will become more proud of what you are achieving through the 180's and become more self-confident.
They finally goal of 180's is to make these a permanent change in how you live. They aren't short term changes, so it takes time and investment on your part to make sure that once the changes are made....that they stick.
