This past Saturday we held one of our monthly RESOLUTE Studio Sessions. One the topics we discussed was the first stage of change – precontemplation. Precontemplation is when you are becoming aware of something that needs to change but you are not ready to do anything just yet.

We like to think about this as the “thinking about thinking about.” If you have read Martha Beck, or have started the RESOLUTE Online Course, you already know the story behind that phrase.

But for everyone else, precontemplation is when we avoid the subject, we do not want to learn or discuss it, we do not take responsibility for our actions, and we are unwilling to consider the consequences.

But if a person has already made the effort to start the online course or attend a studio session, haven’t they already progressed beyond the precontemplation stage? Yes they have. However, if the change is too much or happens too quickly they may revert to the precontemplation stage and they need to know what it looks like.

It is also important to understand that we are all in various stages of change at any given time. We may have one change which we are doing well on, but others we are still in precontemplation about.

Our best chance to implement long term change is to understand each of the stages of change, what it takes to fulfill the need of that stage, and what to do next to insure success.
