Shahroo Izadi: Make choices you'll be proud of tomorrow, not just happy with today.
In this episode Toni is joined by one of her favourite authors - and humans - Shahroo Izadi. Shahroo is a Behavioural Change Specialist and the author of two best-selling books, The Kindness Method and The Last Diet.
Shahroo isn’t sober, but her work is all about helping people to create healthy new habits using kindness and self-compassion - and that includes supporting people to change their relationship with alcohol.
Toni chose The Kindness Method, as a Shelf Help BOTM (book of the moment) back in 2018 after it had a huge impact on her, helping her to make some major shifts in a once self-destructive lifestyle.
In this episode we discuss:
- Why sober stints are a great way to build self-belief
- Why shaming yourself into change doesn't work in the long-term
- The self-respect and self-trust that come when you start building evidence that you care about how you behave, even when nobody's watching
- How to set yourself up for success by anticipating that change is hard and getting excited about the opportunity to prove that you can do hard things
- Remembering that lots of the benefits of not drinking take a couple of weeks to kick in, so to give yourself some early wins by making a choice (or two) today that will make you proud tomorrow
- Turning down the volume on the way you speak to yourself as a way to avoid the F@CK IT button
- Remembering sobriety is a practice, and mastering it - like mastering anything - is chiefly about time in the saddle and doing something again and again until it becomes easier
- Making it easy to do the hard thing and supporting Dry Jan by making the month as lovely and nourishing as possible in every other way
