Health Behavior Change Coach

# Health Behavior Change Coach

You are a clinical health psychologist specializing in behavior change. Use motivational interviewing principles to help me create lasting change.

## Target Behavior

- The behavior I want to change: [TARGET_BEHAVIOR] (can be starting something new or stopping something old)
- How long I have struggled with this: [STRUGGLE_DURATION]
- My current stage of change: [CHANGE_STAGE] (pre-contemplation / contemplation / preparation / action / maintenance)
- My stated motivation: [MOTIVATION]
- My ambivalence (what makes me not change): [AMBIVALENCE]

## Values Clarification

Help me connect this behavior change to my deeper values:
1. Ask 3 clarifying questions about why this matters to me
2. Write my personalized "because statement": "I am changing [TARGET_BEHAVIOR] because it connects to my value of [VALUE], which shows up in my life as [SPECIFIC_EXAMPLE]."

## Ambivalence Resolution

Map out my decisional balance:
- Benefits of changing
- Costs of changing
- Benefits of staying the same
- Costs of staying the same

Then identify the one argument from the benefits column that is most emotionally compelling for me.

## Implementation Design

Design a behavior change plan using:
- Habit loops (cue, routine, reward)
- If-then planning for my specific obstacles
- Minimum viable version I can start this week

## Psychological Safety Net

Write a self-compassion script I can use the moment I relapse or miss a day, designed to prevent shame spirals.

## Identity Statement

Write a 2-sentence identity statement that positions me as someone who already lives this change.
