Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I keep reaching for tracking apps and tidy action plans before I’ve done any of the inner work, and they never stick
- Nobody around me does this thing, so I’m always the odd one out swimming against the room
- Stuck at a hard choice, "can I even do this?" just loops in my head and freezes me
- I genuinely want to do the thing, but my whole space fights me on it
- I keep hitting obstacles I didn’t see coming and each one feels like proof I’m failing, when really I just don’t fully understand how this is supposed to work yet
Practices that may help
- Apply the experiential processes early, behavioral ones later
Use consciousness-raising and emotional arousal early; counter-conditioning and stimulus control after you commit.
The Transtheoretical Model of Change, Made Practical - Use social opportunity — others who make the behavior normal
Position yourself in social contexts where your target behavior is modeled, expected, or easy to perform with others.
The COM-B Model and Behavior Change Wheel - Borrow an identity temporarily by asking "what would [person] do?"
Temporarily adopting a role model’s identity in a specific context lowers the friction of acting as they would.
Identity Priming, Made Practical - Engineer your physical environment to create opportunity
Rearrange space, tools, and access so the desired behavior is the path of least resistance.
The COM-B Model and Behavior Change Wheel - The Transtheoretical Model of Change, Made Practical
The Transtheoretical Model (TTM), developed by Prochaska and DiClemente, proposes that behavior change moves through five stages — precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance — and that strategies effective in one stage often backfire in another. The staging framework is well-validated; the prescriptive matching of "stage-tailored" interventions shows promising but mixed results in trials. - Build psychological capability through knowledge and practice
Acquire the understanding and self-regulatory skill the behavior demands before expecting consistent performance.
The COM-B Model and Behavior Change Wheel - Model the values you expect (idealized influence)
Become a living example of the values you want your team to hold.
Transformational Leadership, Made Practical - Install feedback loops to track behavior and adjust
Measure the behavior directly and use the data to update your intervention, not just your motivation.
The COM-B Model and Behavior Change Wheel - Engineer your social environment to support the behaviors you want
The people around you are the most powerful environmental determinant of behavior — choose and structure social exposure intentionally.
Environment Design for Behavior Change - The COM-B Model and Behavior Change Wheel
COM-B (Capability, Opportunity, Motivation, Behavior) is a diagnostic framework developed by Michie and colleagues that maps the three conditions any behavior requires: you must be able to do it, have the opportunity to do it, and want to do it. Research supporting COM-B as a systematic intervention framework is largely expert-consensus and observational rather than RCT; its main value is stopping you from applying the wrong lever.
