It's Not About the Alcohol

The difference between people who change and people who don't


Listen Later

You know that sinking feeling when you're staying sober or eating clean or making it to the gym–and you suddenly realize it's not going to last?

I hate that feeling. Luckily, it's a feeling, not a fact.

Sustaining a new habit does not require a robot-like ability to resist temptation. Or massive amounts of grit and determination. It's the awareness that ALL emotions are temporary. As a human, you should expect to have an equal number of good days and bad days–so buckle up.

Learn how to experience fear, laziness and defeat without becoming them. Start identifying as someone who accepts that success is built on failure. Because you can't change without the belief that it's possible.

Listen and learn the four steps I use to cultivate that belief!
