It's those changes that can make all the difference. So an example of that would be when you set out to learn a new language. It is going to take multiple times to get that language down. And so when you are quitting drinking, it's popular to say: take it One Day at a time and to focus on The Day, not The Whole Year, and just remember again that you are practicing.
Ever wondered how small changes can lead to big transformations in your drinking habits? In this episode of 'Alcohol Tipping Point,' host Deb Mazenor breaks down the powerful strategies from James Clear's best-seller, 'Atomic Habits,' to help you reshape your relationship with alcohol. Deb dives into practical tips that you can start using today, making it easier to understand and apply these concepts to your own life. One key idea is reframing your mindset.
Instead of labeling yourself negatively, think of yourself as someone actively working on improving your habits. This shift in perspective can make a world of difference. Another useful tip is to increase the 'friction' between you and your drinking habit. This could mean removing alcohol from your home or avoiding situations where you're tempted to drink. By making it harder to access alcohol, you create a natural barrier that helps curb your consumption.
Deb also talks about using financial incentives as a form of accountability. For example, every time you resist the urge to drink, transfer some money into a savings account. This not only rewards your efforts but also makes your progress visible and tangible. Throughout the episode, Deb emphasizes that these tips might not work for everyone, but they offer a solid starting point for anyone looking to change their drinking habits.
She also highlights the importance of challenging societal pressures and finding supportive communities that encourage sobriety. Deb's compassionate and encouraging approach makes this episode a must-listen for anyone on a journey towards a healthier relationship with alcohol.
