Find а quоte frоm Dоnаtelle (our book) thаt shares why it is important for Mary to be ready (and prepared) to change before making the change. Then, explain your quote. Here is an example answer (you may NOT use the example quote or explanation paragraph as your answer): "Why do so many New Year’s resolutions fail before Valentine’s Day? According to Drs. James Prochaska and Carlos DiClemente, it’s because most of us aren’t really prepared to take action" (Donatelle 14). This quote explains that many people fail to keep their resolutions because they aren’t truly prepared to make a change. In Mary’s case, this means that before she can successfully change a behavior, she needs to be mentally and emotionally ready. Simply wanting to change isn’t enough because she must also be in the right stage of readiness, where she has thought through her reasons, anticipated challenges, and committed to taking action. Without this preparation, like many New Year’s resolutions, her efforts may not last. This highlights how important it is to build a strong foundation before trying to make lasting changes.

Plus, it gives her an opportunity to talk through her week (releasing stress and sharing successes) while intentionally finding time to remain connected with her loved ones. Donatelle shares that healthy individuals "make and maintain lasting, healthy relationships" (42).
