It's Not About the Alcohol

How to interrupt a negative tailspin


Listen Later

What happens when you fall "off the wagon," go into a "spiral" or find yourself "in a hole?"  Do you accept it as a fact? Tell yourself you'll "start over" on Monday or next month or when you have more time/energy/focus?

What if bad days don't have to stay that way? 

In this episode, I share 3 questions that can interrupt a negative tailspin. You can chose to feel better NOW instead of waiting for something outside of your control to change. 

You do not have to be a victim of your emotions. "Stuck," "anxious" and "depressed" are feelings, not facts.  

The moment you realize you're in a bad mood, you have a choice. Your emotions are not the problem. It's how you respond to the way you feel that determines what happens next. 

Interested in booking a discovery call with me to get a clear plan for how to manage your emotions around the "hard stuff" so that you can break your own cycle of self defeat? Click here.
