This is some interesting research I came across today: Transtheoretical Model of Change, this is a theoretical model of behavior change from Rhode Island University!

“What determines our readiness to change? Thanks to the eminent psychologist James Prochaska, his collaborators at the University of Rhode Island, and more than 1,000 studies that led to the creation of the Transtheoretical Model (TTM), we now have a map of the five stages of change and the two common underlying drivers. 

Here are the five stages:
  1. Pre-contemplation – No way!!! Very low confidence, or defiance
  2. Contemplation – On the fence. Maybe…
  3. Preparation – Getting ready, anticipating
  4. Action – Actively engaging in new behaviors and mindsets while still wobbly and vulnerable to lapses
  5. Maintenance – Behaviors and mindsets become automatic“
