The Stages of Change

1. Precontemplation : this is when you're not even thinking about changing a behavior
2. Contemplation : this is when you're just starting to think about changing a behavior
3. Preparation : this is when you've started changing your behavior off and on
4. Action : this is when you've changed your behavior consistently for less than 6 months
5. Maintenance : this is when you've maintained the change in behavior for more than 6 months
