"You don't have to be alcohol-free. You get to be alcohol-free."
Ever wondered what it takes to transform your alcohol-free journey from a burden into a blessing? Coach Jason has the answer with his ingenious mindset shift from "I have to" to "I get to." This episode unpacks how this simple reframe can rewire your brain, activating the prefrontal cortex for better decision-making and boosting dopamine levels for natural motivation. Jason shares personal anecdotes and practical tips, making the science of neuroplasticity both accessible and engaging.
He emphasises the importance of language in shaping emotions and behaviours, turning what might feel like a chore into a rewarding choice. By reframing your approach, you not only enhance your mental clarity but also open up a world of possibilities. Whether it's waking up without regret or embracing new routines, this mindset shift is all about celebrating freedom rather than feeling restricted. Ready to change your perspective and experience the power of "I get to"?
