The simplicity is the skill that you need is to choose what you want most over what you want in the moment.
Imagine standing at a crossroads, faced with the choice between staying in your comfort zone or embarking on a challenging journey toward a better life. That's the essence of this episode of 'Aging Flipped', where host Debi Talbert dives into the concept of 'necessary darkness' and the tough choices involved in quitting alcohol.
Debi, a certified Mindset & Alcohol Freedom Coach, sheds light on the discomfort that comes with transformation and why it's a crucial part of exiting the drinking life. Ever wondered why drinking less is simple but not easy? Debi breaks it down, highlighting how our thoughts can trip us up when the going gets tough. She introduces the idea of the 'river of misery'—that daunting phase we must wade through to reach the other side of sobriety.
But what's waiting on the other side? A renewed sense of self, growth, and a life free from the grip of alcohol. Debi emphasizes that choosing long-term goals over immediate desires is a skill you need to master for lasting change. It's not about quick fixes but about committing to a journey that involves self-discovery and transformation.
She shares practical tips on how to navigate this journey, including understanding the four main components of our brain and how to override them with deliberate decision-making. One poignant moment in the episode is when Debi quotes a poem about loving ourselves long-term, which means letting go of past versions of ourselves. It's a powerful reminder that growth often requires saying goodbye to who we once were.
This episode isn't just about quitting alcohol; it's about embracing the discomfort that comes with any significant life change. With Debi's insights and compassionate guidance, you'll find the courage to face your own necessary darkness and come out stronger on the other side.
