Today I learned a super valuable skill during my GP teaching session in the afternoon. We had an interactive learning period under the topic Effective Practice in Facilitating Behaviour Change.

What it's all about is with regards to behaviour change, like changing a lifestyle or cessation of smoking or reduction of alcohol intake, etc. In this particular tutorial, we were given several activities that illustrated how difficult it was - as a human - to change the norms that we do in our everyday life. A habit sticks because we are so accustomed to doing it. And like how we were before we met tarbiyah, we had our sets of habits that weren't in accordance to how Islamic teachings were.

Dah 18 tahun ditarbiyah dgn tarbiyah jahiliyah, emang susahlah mau sental. What more if someone lives to their 50s with a particular bad habit, it would be challenging.

Thus, when we went through the many exercise given by the psychologist tutor, this tool that was invented by Prochaska & DiClemente has proven it's ability to assist us in understanding our mad'u and also pinpointing the most relevant method to address their pembinaan. It's pretty self-explanatory and after talking to many wiser and more experience people in the field, I believe that this is a good summary for all daies to emulate upon.

I am pretty sure that everything listed on the paper is actually known to everyone, but maybe not made into a particular way that could help retain the knowledge of nurturing human resource. So hopefully me putting this here would allow more murabbis to be able to use it as a guidance to facilitate perubahan mad'u dan perubahan diri masing-masing.

In addition to this post, I've made a YouTube video explaining how to use it in a tarbiyah-manner but is only available to akhwats/sisters. So if you'd like a peek, send me a comment below with your email and I'll send the link over.

Moga Allah berkati usaha semua murabbi dan mutarabbi diluar sana!
