In the moment how can we \u201cstrengthen the rider and tame the horse\u201d
Rider = human brain
Horse = animal brain
Form specific \u201cif-then plan\u201d vague plans are hopeless - implementation intentions in research - anticipate moments when we\u2019re tempted to not do our desired habit - use if-then plans
The atom bomb of behaviour change - identity change - our identities are incredibly powerful drivers of behaviour change e.g I am a drug addict or I am a crossfitter
Surrounding ourselves with the right environmental cues - set up your environment - to facilitate the desired behaviour change e.g leaving out your gym clothes before working out / throwing out alcohol, cigarettes or sweets.
COM-B Model - what will it take to develop the habit at the key moment it is needed - e.g a novice driver crashes their car in the first year of driving - the key moment - due to a lack of motivation due to a careless recklessness
