ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

I-Change Model

The i-Change Model is a way of understanding why people change the way they do and the choices that they make. It has five steps: (1) Become aware of the need to change, (2) Explore what it means to change, (3) Take action and make changes, (4) Check how it is going and (5) Keep going with what's working.

In the first step, you become aware of the need to change. You might realize that something in your life isn't working or you might have a new interest that you want to learn more about.

The second step is exploring what it means to change. You might do some research, talk to other people, or look for information and resources that can help you decide on the changes you might want to make.

The third step is taking action and making changes. You might decide to start doing something differently or learn a new skill. Taking action means doing something to start making a change.

The fourth step is checking how it is going. Once you have taken action, it's important to make sure everything is going the way you expected. You can ask for feedback on how you are doing and make adjustments if needed.

The fifth step is to keep going with what's working. Once you have made the changes, it's important to keep using the methods that are working and make any improvements that need to be done.

The i-Change Model is a helpful way to understand how to make meaningful and lasting changes in your life. It can help you to become aware of what needs to be changed, explore the possibilities of change, take action, and keep going with what's successful.
