If believing is seeing that we can create any reality we want. 
They say is true with alcohol. 
Our perceptions of the world and what it means to drink less are going to have a direct impact on the emotions fueling drinking less.
If we think we are broken, it will be a struggle. 
If we think drinking less is a form of empowerment and evolution, an act of feminism, 
it will change how we show up for ourselves and creating change. 

Getting there can be challenging if you don't have evidence from a first hand lived experience. You need something stronger than a mantra to get you there. 
Using the values that you already hold true in many other areas of life, will be your bridge to the other side of believing

In today's episode, you will uncover:

• areas of your life where changing your beliefs changed your results
• how your beliefs about alcohol and quitting are shaping your experience
• why values are the foundation of your support to get from where you are to where you want to go.
• ways to apply your values when not drinking.

F*ck forever.

Life is happening now.

Focusing on FOREVER has your mind spinning in a future out of your control. 

Without alcohol your first time out on the water this summer, your birthday and back yard bbq’s. 

Forever creates a void in your mind.

An empty space where alcohol use to occupy. 

You can’t even fathom it. 

It doesn’t make sense.

Alcohol is a grain of sand in the scheme of life.

But with a mind FULL of to drink or not drink, alcohol feels like a boulder. 

In the beginning, all you can focus on is what will be missing. 

So start here instead:

You know what the morning will feel like if you don’t drink. 

Take your mind to 12 hours from now. Not next year.
 

I wish I would have drank last night, (said no one ever).

Feel the freedom of waking up refreshed and order an iced tea.

Sit in the pride of doing something different. 

Learn the 3 reasons why I don't let my clients use the word FOREVER in our coaching and what to do when your mind takes you to a future nostalgic moment.

Alcohol doesn't make you happy, but you are stuck there. WHY?!?

The most powerful parts of your experience as a Woman is your access to your intuition, your emotional intelligence and the wisdom of your body.

Alcohol suppresses all three.

You know deep down that it's not all there is.

That it's not the choice of deprivation or moderation...that to reinvent yourself beyond alcohol requires liberation.

To make alcohol unimportant is the point so you can be at the center of change and your life.

The ME TOO movement I wasn’t expecting...🌹
.
When I started sharing, I found most Women felt the same way about drinking as I did...ready for a big change.
.
The more honest I was about my relationship to alcohol,
Women came out to the wood work. 
.
Now I say it louder for the women in the back, unapologetically. And because of it, my clients and I are creating a paradigm shift that is rippling out across the planet.
.
Quitting alcohol is a leveling up, not a step back. 💃🏽
.
Shift #5 moving from Isolation To Celebration is where we take your self concept next level. 

No one is going to mess with you for accomplishing the biggest change in your life. 
And if they do, send them to me.

I’m on a missing to deshame drinking and quitting.

You've tried to quit before, but always seem to fall back into old habits. One of the biggest mistakes women make when quitting drinking is just trying to forget about it and move on. This approach will actually strengthen the power alcohol has in your subconscious mind.

Instead, it's important to take your mind from quitting alcohol to committing to learning a new way. All of the thoughts about alcohol running the show need to be examined, and the only way out is through. You may have tried to avoid and look the other way, but this approach simply doesn't work.

In this episode, we discuss the importance of taking a position and focusing on a new self-concept. Quitting alcohol isn't something you can just check off a list – it's a journey of self-discovery.

We also dive into the benefits of seeking accountability and following a clear process, such as in the private coach container Beyond Alcohol. You'll learn how to identify those times when you are not making decisions from truth,  how to recommit and come back to your life intention again and again.

The first step in any commitment is a decision, and your next step could be to book a Zoom call with our expert. Don't let alcohol control your life any longer – it's time to take control and start your journey to a better, healthier you.
