The beginning of a new year is a great time to introduce some change in your life. In this episode, I discuss why it's necessary to make changes gradually and I offer some tips on some easy changes to make to get yourself going.

Highlights

• Take small steps towards change to avoid overwhelming your brain. Start with things that don't have major consequences.
• I talk about how to embrace the discomfort and disorientation that change stimulates.
• I offer some suggestions about small changes you can make around your house.
• Develop an awareness about your current financial habits and decide what small steps to take towards new, more effective habits.
• Develop a "buddy" relationship with a friend who may also want to change their financial habits. This gives you both the chance to establish accountability.
• You can't control everything in your life. Be aware of what you can control and make changes within that realm.
• There is some discomfort that comes with change. The idea is to learn to recognize the discomfort as part of the process and to develop ways of adapting to it.
• Learning how to adapt to change will help you deal with the major changes that are going on in the world – and will continue to go on for the foreseeable future.
• What is one small change you can make today?
