Barriers to change
Barriers to change are factors that make it difficult to move from an intention to a lasting new behavior.
Definition
Barriers to change may be emotional, cognitive, social, environmental or biological. These include lack of readiness, low agency, unclear goal, too high entry threshold, peer pressure, stress, lack of support and poorly designed environment. Behavior change models show that change is a process, not a one-time decision.

Common misunderstanding
It is wrong to blame only lack of discipline. A common mistake is designing a change so large that the everyday system has no chance of maintaining it.
