Making Changes Making a permanent lifestyle change isn't easy. There are five "stages" everyone must go through to change an unhealthy behavior. If you don't feel ready to take the next step or try to jump ahead too fast, you are not likely to make a lasting change. Think of a change you need to make to improve your health. Which "stage of change" are you working on now? What is your next stage? In trying to change, you may go forward a stage or two and then slip back. That's a normal part of changing - not a sign of failure. Consider these stages as you read the following pages. Stage 1: Not thinking to make changes Stage 2: Thinking about making changes in next 6 months Stage 3: Preparing to take action in next 30 days Stage 4: Took action to change within last 6 months Stage 5: Continuing health changes begun over 6 months ago
