Things Worth Considering

We all think about making changes in our life, we plan it, we talk to other people, maybe we even commit publicly to things we are sure we will do … and then we never do them! Do you WANT to change? Today we share some useful ideas that researchers have discovered about the stages of change. Yes, there are actual stages we all go through to move to actual change. We look at the stages and even provide you with what the resistance behaviours and feelings are so you can perhaps identify which stage you are at. Research evidence suggests that individuals following these stages achieve higher degrees of success in change. Things from the 1st stage, called the Pre-Contemplation Stage, when someone suggests you quit smoking, resistance can include denial, shame about smoking, blame smoking etc.. Ready for change? Not at #1. Next at stage 2 is Contemplation-look for the right time, magical thinking. And that is just the beginning! Join us for Things Worth Considering and stages of change.
