If we can couple our newly found awareness with a desire to change, we are on the way to behavior which is healthier for us. We give suggestions for changing old behaviors in Our Money, Ourselves. We have gotten very supportive responses from readers. Women like the ideas in the book, and the exercises, to help them make changes. Men also have been very positive and have said the book helps them understand the women in their lives.
Behavioral change can indeed be difficult.
We hang on to old stuff, not because it serves us well, but because we are used to it. It is important to know that change is possible. One thing that we help readers do is to form a vision of how they would like their relationship with money to be. With this clear vision, change becomes possible. We encourage them to write down their goals and explore ways they might sabotage their change.
