The document discusses Chip and Dan Heath's model of change which involves directing the rational side, motivating the emotional side, and shaping the path. It then provides 5 tools to make healthy living easier by applying this model: 1) wearing a pedometer to direct the rational side, 2) putting up an inspiring photo to direct and motivate, 3) watching knife skills videos to motivate, 4) carrying a water bottle to shape the path, and 5) using a rice cooker to shape the path. It concludes by asking the reader to share other tools that have helped them change.

Healthy Change Made Easier
1. Healthy Change Made Easier Chip and Dan Heath’s Change Model and 5 Tools to make healthy living easier Kevon Saber habits.stanford.edu
2. What enables change? “Each person has a rational side (rider) and an emotional side (elephant). You’ve got to reach them both. And you’ve also got to clear the way (path) for them to succeed. In short, you must do three things.” - Chip and Dan Heath
3. Wear a pedometer Primary Change Mechanism: “Direct the Rider” Why it works: Seeing how many steps you took each day enables you to make an informed decision to exercise. You can’t keep telling yourself “I got enough exercise today walking around” when the pedometer tells you otherwise. A networked pedometer helps you see your activity over time on your computer.
4. Put up an inspiring photo Primary Change Mechanism: “Direct the Rider” Why it works: Giving yourself a visible destination illustrates and reminds you how healthy decisions benefit you. Whether you’re getting in shape for a summer vacation, to feel more energized, or to prevent disease, visualizing your goal helps you persevere when you’re feeling discouraged. An inspiring photo also motivates “the elephant.” Full disclosure: This is not a picture of my former self – Photoshop does wonders. Photo source: http://www.mensfitness.com/lifestyle/entertainment/300
5. Watch a video on Primary Change Mechanism: “Motivate the Elephant” Why it works: Learning how to cook can be daunting. Shrink the change by learning basic knife tools – arguably the easiest way to reduce cooking time. Search for “knife skills” on YouTube today and start chopping and dicing like Julia Child tonight.
6. Carry a water bottle Primary Change Mechanism: “Shape the Path” Why it works: Remembering to drink and finding clean water and something to drink from eight times per day can be difficult. A full bottle is a constant reminder and ensures you can hydrate on the go.
7. Buy a Rice Cooker Primary Change Mechanism: “Shape the Path” Why it works: A rice cooker makes cooking as easy as putting food in the microwave. Throw almost any grain (e.g. rice, barley, quinoa, amaranth) and water in the rice cooker. Then go exercise, surf the web, or call a friend. Come back twenty minutes later and like magic, your food is ready.
8. What about you? “Each person has a rational side (rider) and an emotional side (elephant). You’ve got to reach them both. And you’ve also got to clear the way (path) for them to succeed. In short, you must do three things.” - Chip and Dan Heath Change is never trivial. But it doesn’t have to be so hard. A little thinking about the Heath’s three levers can make change easier for you or your team. These slides contain some of my favorite health tools. What tools have helped you?
