This works best if there is a safe environment in the organization to try the change (i.e., without repercussions when failed and with support from others involved). The fit to self-concept mechanism is about being able to test the new behaviors or attitudes to see how well they fit with the person him or herself. There are two mechanisms in the refreezing stage: fit to self-concept and whether significant others will accept and confirm the changes. The final stage in Schein’s (1980) planned change theory is stabilizing the changes by freezing the new behaviors into the standard behavior. I discovered an air fryer, which cooks with only a few drops of oil, and mainly through hot air hence we were able to eat delicious food that would otherwise have been considered unhealthy due to the amount of oil in them. I also found numerous healthy recipes online and by adopting the second mechanism of change by ‘scanning the environment’. Also, satisfy your cravings by eating something on the ‘naughty’ list once a month in moderation so you don’t feel the need to binge eat. They provided me with lots of success stories and helpful tips to succeed in this new diet such as never starve yourself and take several small meals a day so you never feel hungry. In my case, my mentor was a group of people from online discussion forum who had also started on the path of eating healthy and shared their experiences there. Basically adopting a mentor who has gone through the change himself. The first one being identification: connecting with a respected person and learning the new behaviors and/or attitudes from that person. Schein provided us with two main mechanism for achieving this change. Stage 2: Changing of Scheins three-stage model of planned changed was the hardest part of the whole concept.
Unfreezing is stage 1 in Schein’s three-stage model of planned stage.
My motivation to change had been created. Right at this moment, I went through what Schein describes as the process of ‘ Unfreezing’. I was getting tired of this vicious cycle. Unfortunately, yet again only a month later, I got sick. The doctor increased my steroid dose to the maximum and again within two days I was fine and on my way to gaining weight again. Alas, within two months I got sick again. French fries were my breakfast and fattening greasy yummy Indian food were my lunch and dinner. Presto! Within three days, I was normal and eating numerous bowls of my favorite food like Ice cream, cakes, and brownies as snacks each day. The doctor prescribed me steroids and told me to eat as much as I can to gain weight. After being sick for four months straight and slowly losing all my weight, I finally got diagnosed with Ulcerative colitis in June 2013.
