Ep. #77 How to Say NO To Alcohol, and LOVE it.

How To Say No, and love it.Planning ahead of time is the greatest honor you can give yourself.But it's not just in the Action of what you will do or not. It's the Emotion and the Thought that create your success and drives your intention into fruition.When you think about doing something, you think about HOW YOU WILL FEEL based on past evidence.Our brains jump into fight or flight mode before the actual event has even take place.We create a hypothetical situation that effects the body and creates emotions, even before it happens. Think about the anticipation of a drink: it is even more satisfying than the drink itself. OR that NOT drinking will be the worst thing ever.These thoughts are so powerful you can FEEL IT now.If these thoughts, before the event, are actually producing an emotion and sensations in the body,why not think the thoughts that produce the emotion for SUCCESS?!?This is how we do it during our 1:1 Coaching sessions.The results: MIND BLOWING.1st date Alcohol Free: Curious, charming, open.1st Vacation Alcohol Free: Excited, adventurous clam.1st Job Interview Alcohol Free: Confident, Neutral, Present....Then we generate the THOUGHTS that create the EMOTIONS based on our underlying intention of why we are doing these things in the first place, it's never usually just to drink.This list goes on...Your brain is a POWER HOUSE!Yet, we create the worst case scenario.Until you start practicing thinking on purpose,  slowing down, growing your awareness,your brain will go into default mode of NO drinking, meaning the worst thing ever.Instead of dreading the evening, you can decide how to feel ahead of time, rather than HOW you think you will feel.Game.
