Ready to get a little nerdy?
Ready for something crazy!?
If you’ve ever studied “behavior change”, one of the first things you learned about is the “transtheoretical model of change.” Sounds complicated but it’s not!
In a nutshell, those stages are:
I want to talk about the jump from “Planning” to “Action” … because it is so easy to get these mixed up with each other!
It’s also super easy to get stuck in planning mode.
Basically, it boils down to the fact that spending 5 minutes going for a brisk walk will get you closer to your goal than spending a half-hour shopping for the right sneakers or reading articles about the “perfect” diet or fitness routine. (Raise your hand if you’ve ever been guilty of this! We’ve all done it from time to time myself included!)
It doesn’t have to be a BIG action, but taking 1 or 2 steps in the direction of your goal will help you get to the “maintenance” state sooner than later!
If any of this sounds familiar to you, try experimenting by stacking some action RIGHT into your planning.
The thing I have been working on lately is eating more vegetables. Instead of learning new recipes or trying new vegetables I simply stock up on a few that I know I like and are easy to cook.
Almost every night I have a mix of onions, peppers, squash, and mushrooms.
Now could I add some variety to get more nutrients absolutely? But right now this is what works for me, and I am taking action on it almost daily.
And if you want to jump to the front of the planning line, this is our specialty! We can help you create a custom blueprint for success to help YOU reach your goals!
