From BJ Fogg & the team, here are 10 mistakes in behavior change:
- We rely on will power for long-term change
- Attempting big leaps instead of small steps
- Ignoring how environment shapes behaviors
- Trying to stop old behaviors instead of creating new ones
- Blaming failures on lack of motivation
- Underestimating the power of triggers
- Believing that information leads to action
- Focusing on abstract goals rather than on specific behaviors
- Seeking to change forever rather than for a short time
- Assuming that behavior change is difficult
