What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? Coach Matt is here to guide you through the transformative power of mindset work in this episode of the Alcohol-Free Lifestyle podcast. If you've ever found yourself stuck in a cycle of negative self-talk, particularly after a night of drinking, you're not alone. Coach Matt breaks down the process of 'story work'—a method for actively changing those limiting beliefs that can hold you back.
You'll learn about the three essential tools that can help you rewrite your narrative: externalization, word choice, and conscious breathwork. Externalization involves getting your thoughts out of your head and onto paper, or even into a voice memo. It's about freeing yourself from the mental clutter. Next, Matt highlights the importance of word choice, urging you to be mindful of the language you use about yourself. Are your words empowering or limiting?
Finally, conscious breathwork helps to anchor you in the present, allowing you to process emotions without judgment. Matt shares anecdotes and wisdom from notable figures like Carl Jung and Bruce Lee, emphasising that your mindset is the story you tell yourself about yourself. By changing this story, you can change your life. So, grab a pen, take a deep breath, and get ready to craft a new chapter in your journey towards an alcohol-free life.
Remember, the power to change lies within you. Why not take a moment to consider what stories you've been telling yourself? Could it be time for a rewrite?
