To support our theme of reflection this month, we reached out to clinical psychologist, Josh Klapow, Ph.D., who has an expertise in behavior change to get his advice on how to be successful when making a change.
In the short clip below, Dr. Josh shares two key pieces of advice: 1) when considering making a change, start with soul searching — think about what you really want to change and 2) once you decide what you want to change, make it specific — something that can be observed, measured, and tracked.
