There are said to be four stages we go through when it comes to change.
.
Stage 1 is Unconscious Incompetence.
.
This is where you are in a place and you are unaware of the need, or have no desire, to change.
.
Stage 2 is Conscious Incompetence.
.
This is where you are aware you need to change, or have the desire to change, but don’t have the motivation or knowledge to create that change.
.
Stage 3 is Conscious Competence.
.
This is where you are actually making change happen, but you still have to think about what you’re implementing - it’s not an unconscious habit yet.
.
Stage 4 is Unconscious Competence.
.
This is where you have made certain changes and those changes are now part of your daily life - you don’t even need to think consciously about doing what it is that you do.
.
Let’s take an example…
.
Stage 1:
.
You’re a little overweight…
.
you may know that you are…
.
you may not even notice…
.
either way…
.
you have no desire to make any changes to your lifestyle.
.
Stage 2:
.
You’re aware that you’re a little overweight…
.
and you are actively looking for solutions.
.
But you’re not actively taking any action yet…
.
just researching essentially.
.
Stage 3:
.
You’ve started to take action and are now becoming more active.
.
Maybe you joined a gym.
.
Maybe you have started to clean up your diet and cut out some of the foods you know are not so good for you.
.
At this stage it’s still a major effort to do this stuff…
.
and you have to consciously carry out these new behaviours.
.
Stage 4:
.
You don’t even need to think about the above now.
.
Daily exercise and movement are just part of a healthy lifestyle that you’ve committed to.
.
You don’t even need to think about avoiding certain foods now…
.
it’s just part of who you are.
.
Your whole mindset has had a massive shift.
.
Thinking about your own life now…
.
what stage are you in within a single aspect of your life?
.
Think about it carefully…
.
and start taking action into stage 2.
.
If you commit to action…
.
daily consistent action…
.
you will make it through to stage 4.
