What's Your Goal When It Comes To Drinking?

What's your goal when it comes to drinking?
Does it go something like this-

“I want to drink less.”
“My goal is to just drink on weekends."
“I don't want to drink alone at home anymore.”
“My goal is to quit.”

Take a minute to think about that goal.
Close your eyes.
Repeat the goal to yourself.
Ask yourself- how does it feel to have this goal?

My goal with drinking was always to cut back. But the idea of trying to cut back seemed totally scary and not achievable because I had tried it before and failed. I also had some hardcore beliefs about alcohol that I needed to get curious about.

The goal didn't feel good.

So I reframed it. I wasn't about how much I was drinking. It wasn't about my behaviour, I couldn't seem to control that at first. I changed my goal based on how I wanted to feel.

I knew that alcohol was making me grumpy and tired and I didn't want to feel like that anymore. So, in the beginning I woke up and my goal each morning was to feel the best that I possibly could.

I've said it once & I'll say it again. It doesn't matter how much you're drinking. The point is- do you want to feel better?

I wanted to have more energy and be more present with my kids. I wanted to get a solid 8 hours of sleep without waking up at 3 AM wishing I hadn't drank. My goal was to feel the best I possibly could.

Do you want to feel better?!
Do you want to ditch the headaches and the nausea?
Do you want to get your joy back?
Do you want to feel more confident than ever before?
Do you want to feel what it's like to live 100% authentically according to your values?

If the goal you've set isn't working or making you feel deprived, ditch it! Find one that makes you feel good!
