John Norcross on Mastering Lasting Change: Practical Steps and Real-Life Strategies
“You can learn how to make changes if you've failed in the past at changing things, that doesn't mean that you're going to fail again if you have different skills.”
Ever feel like your efforts to change just aren't sticking? John Norcross, a renowned psychologist and author, joins Eric Zimmer on 'The One You Feed' to share why motivation and willpower might not be enough. This episode dives into the nitty-gritty of behavior change, breaking it down into five essential stages: pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance. Norcross explains how matching your activities to these stages can make all the difference.
He also touches on the inevitability of slip-ups and how they can be perfect learning opportunities rather than setbacks. You'll hear about the power of self-monitoring and tracking progress, as well as how to harness conflicting energy sources to push away from unwanted behaviors while pulling towards desired ones. Whether you're trying to quit a bad habit or start a new one, this episode offers practical advice and actionable steps to help you succeed.
Tune in for an engaging conversation that blends expert insights with real-life strategies.
