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
- 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’ve held this change for a while and feel good about it overall, but there are specific moments
- The people I lean on give me the wrong kind of help at the wrong time
- My motivation for this keeps fading because it’s all external
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. - Apply the experiential processes early, behavioral ones later
