GIVING UP BAD HABITS

Stage 1 - Pre-recognition stage

  • Don't believe they have a problem
  • Usually a trigger sets off stage 2. eg. Becoming quite sick from smoking

Stage 2 - Recognition stage

  • No action taken yet, but start to contemplate taking action
  • How am I going to go about doing this?
  • Motivation - Do I really want to give up this habit?
  • Benefits vs Costs - write a list of each and compare, more benefits gives more motivation
  • Self confidence - do I really feel I can do this?

Stage 3 - Planning

  • I want to change, I'm motivated - How do I do it?
  • Have a plan
  • What method to use
  • Manage your environment - less temptation
  • Make a public commitment
  • Use the power of your mind, visualise the outcome.
  • Eg. Not smoking anymore

Stage 4 - Action

  • Simply putting your plan into action
  • Don't put off starting
  • Without action all the planning and intention is dreaming

Stage 5 - Maintenance

  • Analyse and avoid triggers eg. Going to a bar with friends who smoke
  • Reward progress
  • Learn from setbacks
