Ana Melikian, PhD
AI Without Burnout | Mindset Optimization Strategist, Public Speaker, Top 1% Podcast Host & Amazon Best Selling Author of MINDSET ZONE
In this episode, Ana Melikian delves into the complexities of the change process and why achieving personal change can be so challenging. As this year marks the 10th anniversary of the MINDSET ZONE? podcast, Ana revisits an enlightening episode recorded in 2015 that remains as relevant as ever.
Ana discusses how the intricacies of change are often misunderstood, causing many to give up on their goals prematurely. She introduces a psychological model from the 1990s developed by Prochaska, Norcross, and DiClemente that outlines a process for successful change.
Highlighting that this process is far from linear, Ana underscores the importance of persistence and the inevitable setbacks that are part of the journey. She also emphasizes the value of a supportive community to make the change process smoother and even enjoyable.
Whether you're aiming to break a bad habit or adopt a new, healthier one, understanding this change model can provide the roadmap you need for sustainable success.
Let's dive in!
