The first step in evolving through life is a mental activity called contemplation. According to the Transtheoretical Model, a leading model of change in human development, change follows a specific trajectory. The journey begins with the shift from not thinking about change to contemplating that it could happen. For many, change may involve a home project, like painting a bathroom or clearing out unwanted items. For most, these kinds of external changes rely on goal setting, planning, and then the action stage of doing the physical work.
