The Change Ladder

Visualize a ladder, with each rung representing a different stage of the recent change you’ve undergone.

Every change has different stages – from recognizing an issue, to deciding to change, to implementing a plan, and finally to making it a new habit. Visualizing this process can help you appreciate the steps you’ve taken thus far and focus on the steps that are still needed. In this prompt, consider which stage you’re currently at. What are the challenges and lessons each rung has to offer? What does the climb look like up ahead? This exercise encourages introspection and forward-thinking.
