How many people have set a New Year’s resolution but still have not completed it or have not even started it? Who knows? They should not feel embarrassed, because I am one of them. The Willpower Instinct by Dr. Kelly McGonigal, an award-winning psychology instructor at Stanford University and health educator for the School of Medicine’s Health Improvement Program, presents reasons behind our actions. The primary focus of the book circles around our willpower: the “I will”, “I want” and “I won’t” power; these powers are controlling our thoughts and actions.
30).

The social cognition theory and the use of planning puts in the center the ‘planning’ method.

The theory breaks down crucial mechanisms of change, called processes of change, to enable a person to move to the next stage of change (Prochaska & Velicer, 1997). Prochaska theorizes that matching the processes of change to the person’s current stage yield promising health behavior change (Prochaska & Velicer, 1997). Using the TTM, it is clear the client is in currently the contemplation stage of change. He has thought about changing his time management techniques and would like to improve in the future.
