Ep. #167 Being in the room (with a bottle of tequila)
from Wild Sobriety · host Mary Wagstaff
Hear me when I tell you, emotional freedom from alcohol IS possible for you. Today I share how I started waking up to my potential, when I put myself in a new room. On my way to the Goddess Yoga Arts Retreat, with a bottle of tequila in my bag...Focusing on becoming the solution vs. fixing the problem is the real shift in perspective. It can only happen when you "put yourself in the room."When you show up to build evidence against the thought: that a life without alcohol will be a life of deprivation.Giving yourself a chance to AWAKEN parts of you that you haven't yet met, only happens when you trigger it through a new circumstance. New circumstances create the opportunity for new emotions, new thinking and ultimately new ways of being.And challenge our conditioned belifes. Not all "triggers" are bad.Coaching, sister circles, intentional family adventures, yoga, moon rituals, prayer, are all how I create what I call, "spiritual triggers".Our brains don't go that way unless prompted, naturally. They stick to the negative bias. To the achievement. To the problem of "not enough".So we have to intentionally place ourselves in new situations to invoke new ways of being, until they become the new norm.I wanted to share about my journey of putting myself in the room to trigger the most sacred parts of me that were hiding behind alcohol in plain sight.You don't need to do anything special to deserve everything you want. You can just decide, I'm worth it.
