Episode 7: Change Is Never A Waste of Time (Part 2) - a podcast by Don Martinez

Download Episode! In today's episode, I continue the journey into change that began in Episode 5.  Once again, we dive into the Transtheoretical Model of Change, this time talking about the second stage of change, Contemplation.  Previously, I talked about how this is a process,  often occurring over a series of stages.  Each stage brings us closer to being the change we hope to see.  In the last episode, we discussed pre-contemplation, the first stage in change.  Today, we talk about Contemplation. Through this 25 minute journey, I define what the Contemplation stage is.  Together, we look at what separates this stage from pre-contemplation.  I discuss ways to identify that one is moving from pre-contemplation into contemplation.  Finally, I look at some of the various strategies to move the journey forward from contemplation toward planning and eventual action to make that change.  Along the way, I share first hand experience and anecdotes from my journey and where I have been. Remember, change is not exclusively weight or diet related.  It can be any habit that we feel holds us from achieving our dreams and being the best version of ourselves.  I encourage all of you to join me on the journey.  I invite all of you to welcome change into your life.  Together, we can explore how we can propel ourselves into the future that we want for ourselves.   Finally, we can break down barriers that have held us in place and kept us comfortable, yet stagnant.  As a result, we can see our lives blossom in ways we never thought imaginable. Once again, I thank you all for being a part of this journey with me.  I welcome your feedback and topic suggestions.  It is my sincerest hope that you find meaning in what I share with you, and that it too helps you grow.  Thanks again for listening, Episode 8 will be coming on December 15th!!
