Some individuals are highly motivated to tackle their problems, to better their lives, and others are not remotely interested in change, and may in fact be resistant to it. Joseph Prochaska and Richard DiClemntene, two American psychologists have devised a framework which is normally known as Cycle of Change. Individuals are described as being at one of the following stages of motivational state. You may wish to do your own assessment and identify where you stand in 'Finding a Balance in Your Life.' If you have been reflecting on your life, you may be ready to translate your thoughts into action.
1. Pre-Contemplation: Limited awareness of problems or refusal to recognise them.
2. Contemplation: This state applies to a person who is aware of some problems, or is unhappy with the current state of affairs and is thinking what to do about it. Could do with help to decide on a course of action.
3. Determination stage: This pertains to those who have made up their minds, on a course of action. At this stage the individual may require assistance or advice to make a choice from amongst a range of possibilities.
4. Action Stage: This stage applies to those who have embarked on a course of action, because they are not satisfied with their current state. At this stage the individual would have crafted an Action Plan to achieve a goal or goals.
5. Maintenance stage: This applies to people who have achieved a part of their goal but have some way to go to attain the goal in its entirety. They could benefit from support to maintain their commitment and not to give up

Life Coach---from where you are to where
you want to be---=
Author: Achieving Inner Peace
Achieving Inner Peace approaches each
aspect of our lives which disrupt our
sense of peace and security and reveals
the best methods to counteract the
negativity that creeps into our daily
lives. Using a mixture of various
philosophical and religious maxims and
contemporary stress-relieving techniques,
Sohan Singh reminds us of such
inspirational principles as:
* True happiness and contentment are not
dependent on externals.
* Anger controlled is strength.
* We create the causes of our suffering.
Author: Achieving a Healthy Balnced Life!
The book is about being a well
rounded-person, about being fulfilled in
the realization of goals. Most of us
concentrate on acquiring material
possessions or climbing the corporate
ladder, but ignore other aspects of life.
Sooner or later, we feel unhappy because
of dissatisfaction with the way we are
leading our lives. It is mainly because
our living and working is not based on
fundamnetal principles or natural laws.
