sequential five-stage fashion. Preparation is the third stage of change. The transition from contemplation to
preparation is associated with at least two notable shifts in thinking. First, there is a significant increase in thinking
about solutions and resolutions, accompanied by a decrease in contemplation about the problem, issue, or need.
Second, thoughts about the future increasingly replace those about the past and present.
