Exercise $4\mathrm{.}3$ Assess Importance, Confidence, and Readiness

Select five lifestyle behaviors you would like to evaluate and list them in your journal. Use the following readiness$-$to$-$change scale questions to assess importance, confidence, and readiness for making a change: With the number one indicating not ready and ten representing totally ready, how do you feel right now about your readiness to make the change?

With the number one indicating not important and ten representing very important, what number represents how important it is for you to make a change right now?

If you decide to change, how confident are you that you will succeed on a scale of one to ten, with one signifying no confidence and ten indicating very confident?

Put the scores in columns with the change categories as headings. For example:
