Yes I agree with these steps because I feel that we all go through this at one point if you realize
this or not. I feel like at one point we all go through a precontemplation when knowing that you
need to change but you dont do anything towards it. Then you actually contemplate if you want
to change then you prepare for it have the action then maintain it then finally it ends.

You know if your behavior needs to change when you are feeling angry, irritable and have a
negative effect on others as well on yourself.

My general plan when deciding to change any behavior is trying to figure out why am I acting a

out I try to not let what triggers me make me feel that certain way or eliminate that trigger from
my life.

disorder, is more vulnerable to chronic diseases and more likely to have depression.
