Understanding the Stages of Change, can help you understand yourself much better, and also help clarify what you should be focusing on.
We can be in one of 5 stages:
- Precontemplation - You're not interested in changing. Your goal is to start considering change.
- Contemplation - You're considering the change, but have mixed feelings. Your goal is to make a decision.
- Preparation - You're making a personal realistic and acceptable plan. Your goal is to make a commitment to implement the plan.
- Action - You're taking action to implement the plan, improving the plan with trial and error, dealing with slips and falls. Your goal is to apply the plan for 6 months and gain confidence that you can really do it.
- Maintenance - You're sustaining your new behavior and working to prevent relapse. Your goal is to improve your lifestyle in a way that supports the change for the long term.
