The transtheoretical model of health behavior change (stages of change)

I really found this very interesting! A simple concept explaining the processes within change. May be used to explain why a change isn't successful. 

The model.

My notes. 

 It is "arguably the dominant model of health behaviour change, having received unprecedented research attention, yet it has simultaneously attracted criticism."- Armitage, 2008.

I like it as it explains why I can never stick to my new years resolutions, I am just not yet in the right stage of change!
