Key Insights & Takeaways:

1. Human Superpower: Imagination & Creation

   • Humans live in a world of mental constructs. Time, money, rules, and even identities are creations of the human mind.

   • Meaning doesn’t exist in nature—we assign meaning to events and outcomes, deciding whether they are triumphs or tragedies.

2. Manifestation & Attention

   • Manifestation starts with an idea. What you focus on grows, and what you neglect dies.

   • To manifest something new, you must first believe it’s possible and give it your attention.

   • Your brain is a tool that finds or creates evidence for what you believe. If you believe you have a problem, your brain will collect proof of that problem.

3. How You Manifested a “Drinking Problem”

   • It started with the idea that your drinking is a problem, and your brain went to work gathering evidence.

   • Over time, your focus on drinking as a problem created a tangible reality with hangovers, conflicts, and negative emotions.

4. Reframing & Manifesting a New Reality

   • To manifest a healthy relationship with alcohol, start by paying attention to small wins where you are already in control.

   • Examples of wins include:

   • Waking up in the morning and not wanting a drink.

   • Going through your day without drinking.

   • Choosing not to drink and drive.

5. Hangover Homework

   • When experiencing a hangover, walk back through your memories of the previous night and find moments when you had a thought or impulse to stop drinking.

   • Those thoughts, however fleeting, are wins—proof that you’re capable of making different choices.

   • Paying attention to these positive moments reinforces the idea that you can have a healthy relationship with alcohol.

6. A Success Story: Rehearsing a Different Ending

   • Colleen shares a personal story of noticing a pattern, mentally rehearsing a better choice, and successfully manifesting a different outcome the next time.

   • By reflecting on past wins, you can prime your brain to respond differently in similar situations.

Homework Assignment:

1. Take 5 minutes to list all the times and ways you’ve demonstrated control over your drinking. Include moments when you weren’t drinking, times you limited your intake, and any positive actions related to alcohol.

2. Next time you have a hangover, reflect on the moments when you had the thought to stop or reduce your drinking, even if you didn’t act on it. Count those moments as wins.

3. Check out the Mindful Drinking course and listen to the episode titled Hangover Homework for a deeper dive into this exercise.

Final Thoughts: Manifesting a healthier relationship with alcohol starts with paying attention to the right thoughts. Focus on what’s working, notice the small wins, and train your brain to manifest the solution rather than the problem.
