Map out the coming changes for the next 12 months so you know when you will be carrying the heaviest burdens. The second thing to do is mitigate the effects of change, which begins with self-care. This means good nutrition, sufficient sleep, and exercise. Another way to mitigate the effects of change is mindfulness, which protects against the stress that accompanies change.
