"Too often, we've presented people with a false choice. Take immediate action, or do nothing. Ad those are bad choices for most people. If they take action and they aren't ready, half will fail. And if they don't take action, they'll continue with their unhealthy lifestyle." - James Prochaska If you have ever wanted to make a change, you are one of the courageous ones - embarking on a big journey! It is literally easier said than done, and (as psychology shows us) is not a simple linear process. It has stages - much like a seed laying dormant, eventually budding above the ground. I found that Prochaska's Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change was fascinating as it related to my weight loss transformation, and those of the clients I have helped. Knowledge and awareness is powerful! For a more detailed description of each stage, follow this link : The Stages of Change _________________________________________________________________...
