1. Precontemplation

At this point, you haven’t even started to consider making a change. You’re happy with the way things are, or at least comfortable enough that you’re not interested in the effort change would take.

2. Contemplation

In the second stage, you start thinking about what it would take to change. You might identify what’s standing in the way, or go back and forth about whether change is worth it.

3. Preparation

During preparation, you begin to educate yourself and start “flirting” with change. You might buy a book, read blogs, or research professional support (for example, coaches, doctors, or classes).

4. Action

Action is what it sounds like taking concrete, intentional steps in line with the change you want to make. Interestingly enough, this is where most unsuccessful changes start. Without spending enough time in the previous stages, resolutions fail. People tend to lack the foundation needed to maintain the new behavior.

5. Maintenance

In stage five, you learn how to continue your behavior for the long haul. As the new change takes root, people develop confidence in their ability to continue the new behavior and resist temptation.

6. Termination or Relapse

The original model called the sixth stage termination, which is when the new behavior is solidified and there’s no desire to return to the previous state. The habit is easier to maintain than it is to break. In relapse, however, people “fall off the wagon,” so to speak. They can re-establish the new behavior as long as they don’t get discouraged by the temporary setback.

According to this model, the most important phase is everything that leads up to taking action. If you have a solid plan for moving forward, anchored by intrinsic motivation to change, you’re likely to be successful.
