The only thing an excuse gives you is an option out of the life that you'd like to live
Ever wondered why you keep making excuses for your drinking habits? In this episode of the Alcohol-Free Lifestyle Podcast, Coach Matt Gardiner dives into the science behind those limiting beliefs and how they can be overcome. Matt explains that the excuses we often use - like 'I need alcohol to relax' or 'It's too hard to quit' - are deeply ingrained patterns in our brains, not actual truths. Drawing from the works of Dr.
Wayne Dyer and scientific studies on epigenetics and neuroplasticity, Matt offers practical advice on how to rewire your thinking and take control of your life without alcohol. He discusses the importance of understanding neural pathways, habit loops, and the role of the amygdala in fear responses. Matt also highlights how repetition and conscious effort can help create new, positive thought patterns.
By questioning our beliefs, reframing our thinking, and committing to small daily actions, we can break free from the mental barriers that hold us back. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to transform their relationship with alcohol and live a healthier, more fulfilling life.
