Over the past year, Andrew and I have loved hosting live talks on nutrition, fitness, and wellbeing through our collaboration with GoodSelf.
One of the most rewarding aspects of coaching and running these sessions is seeing firsthand how people progress through various stages of change on their health journeys.
Change rarely occurs all at once. It usually unfolds gradually. It starts with precontemplation, where someone may not yet recognise the need to change.
This is followed by contemplation, when awareness begins to grow but uncertainty remains.
Next comes preparation, where planning and intention start to take shape.
Following preparation, individuals move into the action stage, where new habits are actively practised.
Finally, maintenance shows how consistent routines become part of daily life.
It’s important to acknowledge that relapse can also happen, a normal and temporary return to old habits that can provide valuable insights and strengthen future progress.
Through coaching, we observe how small, intentional actions can compound to create significant transformation. Understanding which stage you’re in can alleviate frustration and make achieving progress feel more attainable.
Tomorrow, we’ll be back with a new session on GoodSelf: “How the Stages of Change Guide Your Health Journey.” In this session, we’ll explore:
- How to recognise which stage of change you are currently in
- What each stage looks like in your health and fitness journey
- Practical strategies to move forward, even when progress feels slow
- Why setbacks and relapses are normal, and how to turn them into opportunities for growth
- How small, consistent steps in nutrition, movement, and mindset can lead to lasting results
🗓 When: 31st October, 3 PM (UK time)
📍 Where: Live on the GoodSelf App
