"What if all of your problems were just a perspective?"
What if your drinking habits are just a matter of perspective? In this intriguing episode of 'Stop Drinking and Start Living', Mary Wagstaff challenges the conventional belief that a drinking problem needs fixing. Instead, she proposes a refreshing mindset shift that could change how you view urges to drink. Mary, a holistic alcohol coach and feminine embodiment guide, shares her wisdom on how to interrupt spirals of stress and resentment without waiting for perfect conditions or trying to fix others.
Mary introduces the concept of the 'Sacred Pause', a process that encourages self-inquiry and emotional support. She explains how taking radical responsibility for your feelings can be liberating. It's not about bypassing emotions but rather meeting them head-on. Mary discusses the importance of shifting perspectives and how this simple act can transform your approach to life and drinking. Through relatable anecdotes, Mary highlights how our perspectives shape our self-concept and affect our relationships.
She offers practical advice on creating boundaries and emotional intelligence, especially as we age and face life's transitions. Her method, Emotion Thought Action (ETA), is designed to help you recognise the emotions tied to your drinking habits and shift your focus from external circumstances to internal change. This episode is packed with insights on how changing your perspective can lead to healthier habits and a more fulfilling life.
Mary’s engaging style and genuine approach make this a must-listen for anyone seeking to rethink their relationship with alcohol. So, if you're curious about how a simple shift in perspective might be the key to transforming your life, this episode could be just what you need.
