I think the person asking for concrete action is just looking for a instant shortcut because he just doesn't want to accept that this is a lifelong struggle  with no instant results. Also he doesn't want to accept that this struggle is about attitudes and motivation and that is internal.

Well, I think I might have been the person who introduced the word 'concrete' into the discussion.

I think all I meant is that all the psychological abstract work in the world ain't gonna make much difference if we never translate thoughts into actions. Taking some concrete step, no matter how small, no matter how long/short, no matter what it is, etc, might make the first mental step a little more real. It brings it into the world of physicality, reality, action, etc.

Does that help clarify?

Actualy it was I that introduced the word.I was actualy anticipating what someone else would tell me. I was also writing how I feel right now about what I originaly wrote.
What you replied I also agree with but to much dooing and you won't think. It is sort of like whaqt the maharal says that when a person is talking he can't think. He writes that is why chazal say tora needs miut sicha
