Using the ‘transtheoretical’ (behavior change model), select a health-related behavior to change over a span of six months. The behavior should be exact. For example, to improve ‘physical wellness’, select a specific detail (body fat percentage, cardiovascular health, or specific body part, etc.) to change. Use the six steps of the model as headers for each section: Pre-contemplation, Contemplation, Preparation, Action, Maintenance, Termination. A minimum of TWO (2) sources must be used for research. DO NOT use sources before 2015. All sources will be listed on a separate page following the end of the paper.
1) Pre-contemplation- Specifically explain how the problem negatively affects your life including why you cannot currently fix the problem. What is holding you back? Identify & detail the personal defining moment causing you to finally decide to fix the problem. This should be at least two substantive paragraphs.
2) Contemplation- Analyze & summarize how your life will change during execution of the plan. What will you sacrifice? How will you adjust your schedule to create time for the modification plan? What are possible problems & how will you address those? This should be approximately two to three substantive paragraphs.
3) Preparation- Include all research, but not simply listing random stats. Explain personal interests guiding your research & decisions about the direction of the plan. What did you learn about the issue you want to change? What mistaken beliefs (if any) did you have before research? Based on research, what did you learn specifically that might work & strategies to avoid? Draw conclusions about how the research will guide your attitude/mindset when preparing the plan. Study varying demographics in your world & beyond, including global perspectives. If perchance the percentage of people your age having your issue is lower in a different part of the world, research ‘why?’ Incorporate it into your personal plan if appropriate. This should be at least four to five substantive paragraphs. It might be the longest section of the paper.
4) Action- Describe every small detail of the plan from the day you begin to the day you end. Include backup plans if you encounter a problem along the way. How will you track progress? Who will assist you with motivation? How will you alter the plan if your life suddenly changes instead of quitting? This should be at least three to four substantive paragraphs.
5) Maintenance- Describe what happens after achieving your goal. What behaviors will ensure you do not backtrack/relapse & return to the bad behavior? This should be at least one (maybe two) substantive paragraph(s).
6) Termination- Describe in detail the type of person you will be following plan completion. This should be at least one (maybe two) substantive paragraph(s). Using the ‘transtheoretical’ (behavior change model), select a health-related behavior to change over a span of six months. The behavior should be exact.

Using the ‘transtheoretical’ (behavior change model), select a health-related behavior to change over a span of six months. The behavior should be exact. For example, to improve ‘physical wellness’, select a specific detail (body fat percentage, cardiovascular health, or specific body part, etc.) to change. Use the six steps of the model as headers for each section: Pre-contemplation, Contemplation, Preparation, Action, Maintenance, Termination. A minimum of TWO (2) sources must be used for research. DO NOT use sources before 2015. All sources will be listed on a separate page following the end of the paper.
1) Pre-contemplation- Specifically explain how the problem negatively affects your life including why you cannot currently fix the problem. What is holding you back? Identify & detail the personal defining moment causing you to finally decide to fix the problem. This should be at least two substantive paragraphs.
2) Contemplation- Analyze & summarize how your life will change during execution of the plan. What will you sacrifice? How will you adjust your schedule to create time for the modification plan? What are possible problems & how will you address those? This should be approximately two to three substantive paragraphs.
3) Preparation- Include all research, but not simply listing random stats. Explain personal interests guiding your research & decisions about the direction of the plan. What did you learn about the issue you want to change? What mistaken beliefs (if any) did you have before research? Based on research, what did you learn specifically that might work & strategies to avoid? Draw conclusions about how the research will guide your attitude/mindset when preparing the plan. Study varying demographics in your world & beyond, including global perspectives. If perchance the percentage of people your age having your issue is lower in a different part of the world, research ‘why?’ Incorporate it into your personal plan if appropriate. This should be at least four to five substantive paragraphs. It might be the longest section of the paper.
4) Action- Describe every small detail of the plan from the day you begin to the day you end. Include backup plans if you encounter a problem along the way. How will you track progress? Who will assist you with motivation? How will you alter the plan if your life suddenly changes instead of quitting? This should be at least three to four substantive paragraphs.
5) Maintenance- Describe what happens after achieving your goal. What behaviors will ensure you do not backtrack/relapse & return to the bad behavior? This should be at least one (maybe two) substantive paragraph(s).
6) Termination- Describe in detail the type of person you will be following plan completion. This should be at least one (maybe two) substantive paragraph(s). Using the ‘transtheoretical’ (behavior change model), select a health-related behavior to change over a span of six months. The behavior should be exact.
