Any new skill learned has a process to it. People tend to learn in either a Why, What, How, or What If format - but the psychology to learning a new skill develops its perspective via an incompetence vs competence manner.

In this week's episode we dive into the four stages and they are as follows.

1. Unconsciously Incompetent

Knowing these four stages will allow you to go easy on yourself when you are using your growth mindset to learn something new. This is beneficial because you can get hung up on not knowing how to do something with expertise and allow the negative critic in your head, or in your life, to persuade you to drop the new skill being learned in favor of your comfort zone - which we already know is actually an uncomfortably comfortable zone. Check this episode out as I bring my almost four years of trail and error in my addiction recovery to the table as we get "Back to Basics."

I can feel that I should be further along, I can hear myself in my head saying, "look dude, you can see where you want to be, how long are you going to tell yourself that where your at is okay." I mean, get a grip Jesse.

These ANTs - Automatic Negative Thoughts - that for me generally are based in judgement and self-doubt can cloud my brain. They can get in my way of seeing what it is I have actually accomplished and how 45 months ago I'd have given anything to be 10% of what I am today.

Where are ANTs taking over your metaphorical kitchen? In this week's episode, as part of our "Back to Basics" series - we will discuss developing a growth mindset around where you were versus where you are now versus where your potential is guiding you.

Everyone has greatness inside them - you just gotta get the heck out of your own way.

Going back to the beginning is my opportunity to remind myself of how far I have come. I think I have gotten forgetful about where I was versus where I am now. The first four year's of this journey is only three month away from its celebration. Before I start transitioning me, you, and this podcast to really focusing on the end of the year and the beginning of the next - I thought it an excellent opportunity for all of us to reflect on our own journeys, regardless if they are merely a day, week, or month in, or even six months, a year, three years, six...and so on.

We know it's all a day-by-day, step-by-step path we are upon - but I really like thinking about what my life will look like in the future. In doing that, it provides me with a vision for which I can set my sites and develop the habits that will get me to that outcome.

Oh, and this is basically a one-hour rant. When I say I don't want to drag people into sobriety what I mean is that I am not here to convince you this is the best way to live life. You need to show up with at least a vague thought that that is a very true and real outcome. From there I am happy to show you how to drink the water the horse was splashing all around - all the while not hydrating itself. At the very least be circling the watering hole - then I know you are curious about the water and from there we can build a plan together.

Addictions are based in suffering, this we know, and this we have in common. Adrian brings lively guests onto his show so they can share their stories in a way that is both entertaining and heart-warming.

Based in Toronto, Adrian has his own sobriety and recovery story he doesn't often get the opportunity to share on his podcast because he focuses on his guests - so I brought him onto mine so he can share with you what he has gone through and so you can go check out his show for yourself.

The Sober Experiment is welcomed to the show as I take my first foray across the pond to check out how they get their sober on in England.

Alex and Lisa introduce us to Bee Sober, a well-being company making a difference by working with individuals and organizations to educate them about mental health. They work diligently to inspire their community by transforming people's mindset around health and wellbeing and alcohol's role in their life.

There is symbiotic energy that is next level between these two, cultivated through being best friends since high school and drinking together for almost 30 years before "experimenting" with sober curiosity. By about five minutes in, you'll notice that our energy together takes on a "next-level" vibe as they share their take on the sobriety to addiction recovery journey.

We dive into mindset strategies, to cultural dependencies on intoxication, to...well let's just say there isn't much we don't cover. You're gonna want to add their show to your subscribed list after you meet them.

Check out their website and Instagram account with the links below. These two really are bringing something special to our community and I know you will enjoy your introduction to them as much as I enjoyed meeting them myself.

I love introducing you to things that are a part of my addiction recovery program and journey. I have always been fascinated by Astrology. It just seems so otherworldly. What little I know just draws me into wanting to know more.

I have heard it said that Astronomy is the study of the stars and Astrology is the study of how the stars, and specifically our solar system, influence us. After this time with Danie, you are surely going to know more about how the moon affects you just as much as your sun sign. Did you know that's the name of your sign from the month you were born?

Some of y'all might think this is WooWoo or nonsense. To each their own. I just like to remind myself that just because I don't know about something doesn't make it not real. Like the Germanic language. It exists whether I understand it or not. Danie can easily slide you right into a conversation about Astrology and show you exactly how the moon, sun, the signs, and the planets have an effect on us in the most amazing ways - and you'll see the evidence when you compare how you are feeling to your natal chart. What's a natal chart? Oh, she'll tell you about that too!

Here are some awesome links so you can learn more about Danie and Astrology!

Danie set up a special opportunity for you to learn your natal chart just for being a listener of the show: Learn your Sun, Moon, and Ascending

Danie's official website is definitely a great resource: The Peace Teacher Website

Gratitude lists. A staple of the addiction recovery journey. Are you getting deep enough in your gratitude journaling? Are you just listing off what you are grateful for like it's a grocery list? Are you really listing things you are thankful for? Should you be doing a thankful list too? Can I ask any more questions before you hit play and find out the answers to these questions with my usual wit and humor?

Being grateful and/or being thankful could just be a semantics debate unraveling before our very eyes - but I attest that there is a measurable difference and it should be discussed. I mean, clearly I have something a say on the subject, or I wouldn't have done 40 minutes on it.

Let's dive into the deep together and in the end, you'll know exactly what the difference is, well, maybe, but you'll definitely know how to feel deep into your gratitude journal entry today.

Check out my Instagram bio link for the link to the Sober Sessions weekly coaching registration form. Can't wait to see you there!

Are you paying attention to your life? Are you zoning out during habituated activities to the point that you don't even remember doing them right after you finished doing it? It can be brushing your teeth, taking a shower, getting dressed, cooking food, talking to family or friends, or...like me today, trancing out while driving my car.

The brain seeks to habituate many daily activities so it doesn't have to expend that much energy to complete an activity it finds repetitive. This is great when we don't have to think about tying our shoes, washing dishes, walking the dog, and the other hundreds, if not thousands, of activities we can start and finish on auto-pilot.

The issue with operating on cruise control during our days and throughout doing these kinds of habitual tasks is that we miss the nuances of life, the hidden gems that are the real beauty of our existence. I am not and I am - being all meta-physical on you right now.

There is beauty in the mundane. When we trance out during these repetitious behaviors, life is passing us by, and sometimes, once in a while, not all that often - we almost do something really stupid. Well, maybe I did just that, and there's the foreshadowing and cliffhanger to make sure you hit that play button and discover how you can step out of your state of trance.
