The 3 Stages of Change

I need. I can. I want. These are the three stages that I see most often when it comes to change. Simple, right. In theory, change really is simple. But, simple is not the same as easy. I think we can all agree with that. Just because we know what to do doesn’t mean that we actually do it. In most areas of our life that we desire change, we know some of the things that we should do. However…actually doing those things is a completely different story. A lot of people make a lot of really positive changes for a little while. They make a quick decision based on the I need stage, but they never address their mindset or their belief system. So, they float between the I need and I can stage for a very long time. This way of change is exhausting, and I really think this is why so many people give up. They work and work and work, but they either don’t have a clear direction, or they have made so many changes that their lifestyle is not sustainable. Lifestyle change is what we want. Sustainable is what we want. Here’s my challenge to you today. Do some digging. Focus on awareness. Find the ares that you find yourself saying, I need to change. Then, begin to address your beliefs. Look at sustainable changes. Tell yourself, I can do this. Make your environment work for you and support your change. Begin instilling belief in yourself. Then, get to work. Use your momentum.  Need help?  That's why I'm here.  Shoot me a DM @kenziepresnell or @fixedonfitness and let's just chat for a few minutes.   Enjoy!
