Abstract

Unconscious habits play a significant role in shaping individual behavior and decision-making, often posing obstacles to achieving a healthy and efficient lifestyle. To address these challenges, this study introduces the Awareness-Execution-Experience Integration Theory (AEEIT), designed to facilitate behavior change through a systematic and structured approach. The theory emphasizes four key steps: awareness, choice, execution, and experience, each aimed at helping individuals maximize life efficiency and move towards a more fulfilling life. Drawing from existing psychological and behavioral science research, the AEEIT incorporates the concept of flow experience to create a comprehensive framework for behavior modification. An experimental design is proposed to validate the theory, involving diverse participant groups and employing data analysis to evaluate the outcomes. Although empirical validation is pending, preliminary theoretical analysis suggests that the AEEIT has significant potential to enhance individual behavior awareness, self-regulation, and engagement in flow experiences. The theory offers a novel approach to behavior change, with important implications for personal growth and self-regulation, and opens up new avenues for research in social psychology. Practical recommendations are also provided to help readers apply the theory in their daily lives, with the goal of achieving a healthier and more efficient lifestyle.
