Becoming an alcohol minimalist means: Choosing how to include alcohol in our lives following low-risk guidelines. Freedom from anxiety around alcohol use. Less alcohol without feeling deprived. Using the power of our own brains to overcome our past patterns and choose peace.
How often have you tried to change a habit only to find yourself back at square one? In this thought-provoking episode of 'The Alcohol Minimalist Podcast', host Molly Watts sits down with Drs James and Janice Prochaska, renowned experts in behavior change. The Prochaskas, authors of the influential book 'Changing to Thrive', share their extensive knowledge on what it takes to make lasting changes in our lives.
During their conversation, they dive into the core themes of their book, focusing on the five major areas that impact our health: diet, smoking, alcohol consumption, exercise, and stress. They break down why changing these habits is so challenging and offer practical strategies to overcome these hurdles. You'll learn about the stages of change, the importance of reframing your language around alcohol, and how to manage anxiety related to drinking.
The episode also touches on the concept of becoming an alcohol minimalist—consuming less without feeling deprived. The Prochaskas discuss how understanding the science behind alcohol can help you make more informed choices. They also highlight the role of co-habits and how addressing one behavior can positively impact others. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone looking to transform their relationship with alcohol and improve their overall well-being.
Whether you're trying to cut back or quit entirely, the Prochaskas offer hope and practical advice to help you thrive through change.
