It's Not About the Alcohol

The willpower work-around


Listen Later

Tired of white-knuckling (or caving into) cravings for alcohol, comfort food and other self-defeating behaviors? Want to know what to do when you want something you shouldn't have?

In this episode, I'll role-play the emotional sobriety framework that allows you to easily overcome urges without relying on willpower using my own recent temptation to open a bottle of wine.

Willpower is a limited resource–especially in the evening after a busy day. And even when it works, urges will keep coming back and get harder to ignore until you untangle the subconscious emotions from the surface level desires.

High quality self-care doesn't feel like a fight or require self-denial. Just the opposite. There is nothing more freeing than learning how to manage your emotions so they are no longer managing you!
