If you relate to any of these unhealthy behaviours and have tried several times to change without success it could be something i could help you achieve, its easier to do this is you have help from a professional,who can sort out why you cant change or why you have failed.
There are stages of change where are you at ?
- Precontemplation (Not ready)
When you are not intending to take action in the foreseeable future, and can be unaware that their behaviour is problematic.
2. Contemplation (getting ready)
People are beginning to recognise that their behaviour is problematic, and start to look at the pros and cons of their continued actions.
3. Preparation (ready)
This is where you are intending to take action in the immediate future, and may start taking small steps towards behaviour change.
4. Action
When you have made specific modifications in improving problem areas and are acquiring new healthy behaviours.
5. Maintenence
This is where you are able to maintain healthy behaviour for a while and working to prevent a relapse.
6. Termination
This is where you have zero temptation and are sure you will not return to old unhealthy habits.
