Pause Before You Pour: A Mindful Moment with Mary Wagstaff

Your relationship with alcohol is a conditioned habit. A auto pilot response to a number of stimulus and cues in your world. Just like brushing your teeth or driving a car, drinking has become what you do without much thought.
Imagine this: you're about to pour yourself a drink, but instead of going through the motions, you take a moment to pause. That's the essence of Mary Wagstaff's bonus episode, 'Pause Before You Pour: A pre-drinking check-in'. Mary, a holistic alcohol coach, guides listeners through a deeply relaxing mindfulness meditation designed to help you tune into your body and mind before making the decision to drink.
It's not about following rules or counting days; it's about creating a new habit of self-awareness and intentionality. In this episode, Mary explains how drinking often becomes an automatic response to various stimuli in our lives, much like brushing our teeth or driving a car. By pausing and checking in with ourselves, we can break this auto-pilot behavior and make more conscious choices.
The guided meditation encourages you to slow down, calm your nervous system, and really listen to your body's needs. Maybe you'll realize that what you actually need is a glass of water or an early night instead of that drink. This episode is perfect for anyone looking to transform their relationship with alcohol through mindfulness and self-reflection. It's a powerful tool for breaking old patterns and aligning with your true desires.
So, if you're ready to explore a new way of thinking about drinking, give this episode a listen. You might just find that the pause is more powerful than the pour.
