Lewins Change Theory

•        

• Unfreezing
• Moving to Change
• Refreezing

10
Unfreezing

• Involves letting go of old habits or patterns.

11
Unfreezing

• Before any change can occur smokers need to
  recognize and accept the fact that a change needs
  to occur.
• The driving forces need to be far greater than
  the restraining forces.
• When the smoker has accepted a need to change
  then only can he/she begin to unfreeze the
  habit of smoking.

12
Making the Change

• Involves altering an individuals thoughts,
  feelings, and behaviour.
• Smokers must remember it will not happen over
  night.
• A lot of patience is required. Keep a positive
  attitude.
• Many methods will be attempted nicotine patch,
  nicotine gum, cold turkey and so forth before
  successfully finding a method that works.

  smoker towards changing their habits

Refreezing
