Coach David Jelks dives into the intricate connection between emotional and physical pain in this episode of the Alcohol-Free Lifestyle podcast. Have you ever wondered why, despite having endless resources, lasting change remains elusive? David unpacks how our nervous system processes both physical and emotional pain similarly, leading to guarded responses that hinder progress. Through engaging anecdotes and a sprinkle of humour, he reveals how focusing on 'core strength' for both body and mind can be transformative.
Drawing from ancient rituals and neuroscience, David shares simple yet effective shifts to cut through decision fatigue and help you move from knowing what to do to actually doing it. He also references the work of Dr. Lisa Miller, highlighting the fascinating idea that our drive and motivation are one-third innate and two-thirds environmental.
By investing 80% of your efforts on core strength and posture for physical health, and character strength and spiritual identity for mental well-being, you'll find a clearer path to achieving your goals. This episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to break free from alcohol and create lasting change in their lives. Ready to take the first step towards a clearer headspace and a brighter future?
