When someone is in the preparation stage of change, what are they doing?

Actively changing behavior
Not considering any change
Making a plan to change
Just contemplating the idea of change

The correct answer is: Making a plan to change

In the preparation stage of change, an individual is actively making a plan to change their behavior. This phase is characterized by the person recognizing the need for change and starting to develop a strategy to implement that change. They might be setting specific goals, making a list of action steps, or gathering the resources necessary to support their transformation. This stage is crucial because it marks the transition from thought to action; individuals are typically motivated and committed to moving forward. They may also begin to consider how to overcome potential barriers and may have researched techniques and methods that can help facilitate their change. The preparation stage is a proactive approach that paves the way for the actual implementation, which takes place in the next phase, where individuals begin to actively change their behavior.
