Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

My friend, are you starting to get a bit reflective now that we're coming towards the end of the year?

I love this time of year because I do a summary of my year. I think about what

the highlights were, what I did well that I'm happy with, what maybe I would like this to be

foundational for for what comes next. I love the final couple of months of the year, not to mention, of course, or the holiday

fun and the lights and the goodwill and the feeling of that holiday glow. But perhaps you're

reflecting on this year too. And as a life coach, I know that this is when we start to think about making changes.

I'm not talking about New Year's resolutions, but I'm talking about shifts.

I'm talking about maybe errors of your life you're not that happy with, where you'd like

to see some expansion or just some hardcore changes.

And I wanted to just offer a couple of ideas as to why change feels scary,

but it doesn't have to, right? Of course, you know, human beings, we're not wired for change.

Our brain's number one job is to keep us safe, to keep us alive. And so it will time and time

again, until the end of time, it will seek out the familiar

to make sure, okay, you are safe here in this job, in this apartment, in this relationship

with these friends, eating these meals, going here, sticking there. I mean, our brains will have us

do this because, hey, we mitigate risk by

familiarity, right? Well, I say wrong. Only those of us who risk are free. And I have a couple

of thoughts I wanted to share with you around change if you're looking to make a change in the new year

or even now, why wait if you know something's going to be really good and fun for you?

And perhaps this can help ease the shifts that you'd like to invite in.

The first is this.
