It's Not About the Alcohol

EP134 Three easy habits to reduce anxiety and heal your relationship with yourself


Listen Later

How do you respond when you're feeling overwhelmed and worried about everything happening in your life?

Most high-achievers think that success comes from the ability to perform under pressure. And while that's true, the mistake that leads to burnout is thinking you can't feel better until you get everything done (well), and everyone around you agrees with your decisions.

But that is literally never going to happen. And the harder you push yourself and the more stress you feel, the more your cravings for alcohol (and other forms of escape) will continue to overpower you.

Anxiety is the thinking problem that causes the drinking problem. But it's self-induced. You need to learn new thinking skills to control the bully in your brain so that you can feel safe, calm and present in your body.

In this episode, I'll give you the 3 strategies I use everyday that will allow you to feel like you're on your own team and become your own best friend so you can live in peace…no matter what's happening around you.
