Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I keep throwing action plans and systems at this change and getting nowhere, and I’m starting to suspect I jumped straight to "do it" when I haven’t even really decided yet
- I keep reaching for tracking apps and tidy action plans before I’ve done any of the inner work, and they never stick
- I’ve been stuck on the fence about this for ages
- I’ve held this change for a while and feel good about it overall, but there are specific moments
- I slipped after weeks of doing well and the shame hit so hard I just threw the whole thing out and went back to square one
Practices that may help
- 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. - Identify your current stage before choosing a strategy
Diagnose where you actually are in the change cycle before deciding what to do.
The Transtheoretical Model of Change, Made Practical - 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 - Work through a decisional balance in the contemplation stage
List the honest pros and cons of changing — and of not changing — to unlock stuck ambivalence.
The Transtheoretical Model of Change, Made Practical - Track your temptation-to-confidence ratio
Confidence in your ability to resist temptation must outpace the pull of the old behavior.
The Transtheoretical Model of Change, Made Practical - Treat relapse as a predictable part of the process, not a failure
Most people cycle through the stages several times before achieving lasting change — plan for it.
The Transtheoretical Model of Change, Made Practical - Practice self-reevaluation to build a new self-image
Imagine how you will think and feel about yourself once you have changed — and how you’ll feel if you don’t.
The Transtheoretical Model of Change, Made Practical - Enlist a helping relationship appropriate to your stage
The kind of support that helps in preparation (accountability) is different from what helps in contemplation (empathy).
The Transtheoretical Model of Change, Made Practical - Diagnose which stage your team is in
Name the stage you’re in before you pick a leadership response.
Tuckman’s Stages of Team Development - Make tiny tweaks, not heroic leaps
Change behavior by adjusting the smallest action in the direction of your values — not by waiting until you feel ready.
