when thinking about change, ask 3 basic questions

1. Why do I want to try and change the behavior (pros) 2. Why shouldn't I try to change the behavior (cons) 3. What would it take for me to change the behavior (what's my strategy to overcome my cons)

Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change

Developed by Prochaska is based on more than 25 years of measuring behavior change. This model is a blueprint for effecting self change.

Mount Lasting Change

Drawing from the cognitive and behavioral processes of the TTM, as well as from evidence-based principles of behavioral psychology and positive psychology -- MLCPyramid is graphic metaphor for health, fitness and wellness coaching.

Cognitive Process

Encompasses a wide range of reflective-learning processes in which people are sorting out their thoughts, feelings, and desires regarding a particular health-promoting change. 1. Getting Information: find out the benefits of doing it. 2. Being Moved Emotionally: Taking to heart the benefits and ignite your drive to change 3. Considering how your behavior affects others: ex. what your children see from watching you 4. Self-Image: Connecting the dots between vision-value and behavior to enhance integrity 5. Social Norms: Support group
