These questions can help you assess your readiness to make changes in your life and identify what might be holding you back.
1. On a scale of 0–10, with 0 being “not at all important” and 10 being “extremely important,” how important is it for you to change right now?
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
• Why are you at the number you picked and not at zero?
• What would need to happen for you to get to a higher number?
2. If you did decide to change, how confident are you that you could do it? Rate your confidence level on a scale of 0–10, with 0 being no confidence that you could change and 10 being absolutely certain you can.
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
• Why are you at the number you picked and not at zero?
• What would need to happen for you to get to a higher number?
