Myths Facts
Crisis is a powerful People go into denial of the bad things
impetus for change that might happen to them
Change is motivated by fear To achieve sustainable results, it takes
time.
Regular reinforcements are needed
We can't change because our
brains become "hardwired" Majority of patients don't sustain changes
in the unhealthy lifestyles that worsen their
early in life disease
Change for better is always difficult to
Behaviour change methods make
don’t yield adequate results We can continue learning complex
new things throughout our lives
Change in behaviour is not Behaviour addressed should be the “felt
need” of the people targeted
sustained Community involvement is important
for success of any change process
Behavior change is a continuous process
A journey of a thousand
miles begins with a single step
