When we come in tune with the emotion, it is our superpower, it is the awareness that will create the deepest knowledge of the self you know, which is through our intuition.
Ever wondered how much power your words and emotions hold over your drinking habits? In episode #85 of 'Stop Drinking and Start Living', Mary Wagstaff dives deep into this fascinating topic. She argues that the language we use can either trap us in a cycle of addiction or set us free. Think about it: if you believe life will be miserable without alcohol, guess what? It probably will be.
But if you start seeing alcohol as non-essential, you'll feel more neutral about it, making it easier to let go. Mary explains that every action we take is driven by emotion, and Big Alcohol knows this all too well. They tug at our heartstrings with their marketing, making us believe we need that drink. But Mary’s clients are flipping the script, one thought at a time, and creating what once seemed impossible: freedom from alcohol without feeling deprived.
In this episode, Mary shares three crucial steps to help you change your relationship with alcohol. She emphasizes the importance of curiosity and compassion in this journey. It's not just about quitting; it's about transforming how you see yourself and your desires. By becoming aware of your emotions and practicing non-judgmental mindfulness, you can tap into your intuition and gain a deeper understanding of yourself. Mary also challenges the conventional wisdom of moderation.
Instead of trying to cut back, she suggests going all the way back to zero. This approach helps you break free from the constant mental battle and find true peace. She offers practical tips for stepping out of your old story and into a new, more empowering one. If you're ready to see alcohol in a new light and explore the emotional roots of your drinking habits, this episode is a must-listen.
Tune in and discover how changing your thoughts can lead to a life where alcohol is no longer the boss.
