Ready... or Not?

Ready... or Not?

We're halfway through January. How are the resolutions going? Are you rockin' it? Given up? Either way, know that success (and failure) is all about readiness. Were you really ready? There are Five Stages to Readiness: • Pre-contemplation (no way) • Contemplation (on the fence) • Preparation (getting ready) • Action (doing it) • Maintenance (automatic)* *from James O. Prochaska, Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change, 2008 If, and when, you want to change a behavior, first you need to answer two questions: • how motivated are you? • how confident are you that you will succeed? You need to explore your thinking, plan what that means for you, and then, only then, will you be set up for the “win." That’s how you dig in and make it happen…. by getting ready! Ready... or not?
