Psychology Today has a list of 6 principles of change. I agree with Lifehacker: it is a “wee bit Dr. Phil-ish”, but interesting nonetheless.

Change is a tough one for people who want healthier bodies and minds. The health and fitness industry wouldn’t be booming like it is if people found it easy to change their physical self. What makes it so hard?

If you want to improve your fitness level, but can’t seem to make that change, maybe the list can shed some light on what’s missing. Here’s a summary of the six principles of change:

  1. The belief that you can change is the key to change.
  2. The type of treatment is less critical than the individual’s commitment to change.
  3. It is not the duration of the treatment that allows people to change but rather its ability to inspire continued efforts in that direction.
  4. Life skills can be the key to licking addiction.
  5. Repeated efforts are critical to changing.
  6. Improvement, without abstinence, counts.
