Introduction

Every friday i share a quick mental strength strategy that can help fix the thoughts, feelings and actions that could hold you back in life. Today i'm talking about stages of change - an important concept that therapists consider when providing treatment. We usually don't sit in one stage for a specific period of time before moving to the next. You might move back and forth between two stages for years. Identifying what stage you're in can help you decide what action, if any, to take next. It may also help you better understand yourself and your decisions.
