What keeps us tolorating alcohol? We’re discussing the societal pressures and self-concept dynamics that keep us in the endless cycle of drinking.

You are wanting to reclaim a missing part of you. That missing part IS your sober self. The power of your feminine energies that will guide you on this transformative journey. We'll discuss how this energy can help you tap into your natural state of sobriety and embody the version of yourself you aspire to be. Our conversation reveals the reasons why we accept alcohol in our lives and how we can foster a healthier relationship with ourselves.

I'll share my personal 'aha' moment about changing my story about what alcohol means to me and how it shaped my journey back to sobriety.

As you charter this course to sobriety, remember to approach this journey with compassion and understanding. We'll explore how shifting your self-concept can be the key to unlocking a naturally sober self. Remember, seeking support and committing to a proven system can be game-changing. You'll learn about the unique features of my Stop Drinking and Start Living Portal Of Empowerment, a sanctuary for those seeking to a new approach to changing alcohol in their lives.

Today, we uncover the truth about why people struggle to drink less and the underlying beliefs that drive our behaviors.
It's not just about sheer willpower; it's about understanding the intricate web of beliefs that lead us to reach for that drink.
We explore the concept that habits don't start with the behavior itself, but with the beliefs that shape our reactions.

Change starts with awareness and intentional shifts in our thought patterns.

Key Takeaways:

1. Habits are rooted in beliefs: Habits don't begin with the behavior itself but are shaped by the belief systems we carry, both about alcohol and various aspects of our lives.
2. Awareness is the first step: Shifting from unconscious to conscious awareness is essential. Understanding where you place your attention, especially in moments of emotional triggers, is crucial for change.
3. Beliefs drive behavior: Our beliefs about alcohol and its role in our lives significantly influence our actions. Identifying and challenging these beliefs is essential to change our relationship with alcohol.
4. Present moment awareness: By consciously anchoring ourselves in the present moment, we can interrupt the habitual thought patterns and reactions, paving the way for a new perspective.
5. Shifting beliefs intentionally: Deliberately cultivating new beliefs that align with the life we want to lead is possible. By focusing on one thought at a time and coming into the present moment, we can create lasting change.

It no longer has to take you years to quit drinking and endless attempts.

We dive into the topic of redefining fun beyond alcohol. Exploring the innate desires and pleasures within us, especially as women. We discussed the various aspects of life where we naturally seek enjoyment and how alcohol has become intertwined with those experiences. Here are the key takeaways:

1. Associations with Pleasure: We examined how alcohol has become associated with activities we inherently enjoy, like socializing, music concerts, or downtime at home. These associations often override the natural pleasure of the activity itself, leading to a dependency on alcohol for enjoyment.
2. Unpleasant Activities and Alcohol: On the flip side, we discussed how alcohol can mask the unpleasantness of certain activities, like venting frustrations at happy hours or engaging in gossip. While these activities may give temporary relief, they don't create lasting satisfaction and can compound negative feelings.
3. Examining Your Thoughts: We emphasized the importance of examining your thoughts and perspectives around activities. By understanding your true feelings and motivations, you can distinguish between activities you genuinely enjoy and those you've associated with alcohol, allowing for conscious choices.
4. Personal Responsibility: Taking personal responsibility for your choices and redefining your expectations is crucial. This involves understanding that your preferences, boundaries, and definitions of fun might have changed over time. It's about owning your decisions and finding authentic ways to enjoy life.
5. Embracing New Experiences: Lastly, the episode encouraged listeners to embrace new experiences and redefine what fun means to them. By trying out activities without the influence of alcohol and approaching situations with curiosity, you can uncover genuine enjoyment and live a more fulfilling life.

Remember, it's about rediscovering your authentic self, connecting with your senses, and finding joy in the present moment without the need for external substances. So, go out there, redefine fun, and embrace the magic within you!

In this introspective podcast episode, I explore the deep layers of self-love, self-care, and self-awareness. Reflecting on my recent yoga experiences and encounters with insightful teachers, I explore the profound question from Poet Andrea Gibson: Is my attention on loving, or is it on who isn't loving me?

I discuss the societal pressures around beauty and aging, acknowledging the fine line between self-care practices and self-love. Drawing from personal experiences and lessons, I invite listeners to consider the transformative power of cultivating self-love as a foundation for all other aspects of life.

Key Takeaways:

• Attention on Love: Reflect on whether your focus is on love, solutions, and self-compassion, or on who isn't loving you or the problems, allowing for mindfulness in the present moment.
• Cultivating the Witness: Practice moving beyond thought, connecting with your essential self, the unflinching consciousness within you, fostering stability and self-awareness.
• Embracing Joy: Challenge the ability to experience natural joy without relying on external substances or circumstances, recognizing it as a profound aspect of self-discovery.
• Self-Care vs. Self-Love: Question the intention behind self-care practices, discerning if they stem from a place of self-love or societal pressures, emphasizing the importance of self-love as the foundation of well-being.
• Starting with Self-Love: Prioritize self-love as a prerequisite for happiness and contentment, understanding that external changes or practices might enhance but not replace the core of self-acceptance and love.

I mention the episode of Elena Brower's podcast with Andrea. Please take a listen here.
