Recognising Invisible Progress in Habit Change

Episode Overview

  • Progress in habit change is often invisible at first.
  • Small victories like pausing before a drink are crucial.
  • Neuroplasticity means your brain is always rewiring.
  • Compassionate self-talk aids in long-term change.
  • Stay curious and engaged, even after setbacks.
"Progress is often invisible until it's not. Keep going, my friends."
Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? This episode of The Alcohol Minimalist Podcast is all about recognising the invisible strides you make when changing habits. Molly Watts dives into the psychology behind why progress often feels elusive, especially during a time like 'Mostly Dry January.' She reassures listeners that even if they can't see the changes in their drinking habits, their brain is busy rewiring itself for the better.
With a mix of neuroscience and personal anecdotes, Molly explains how small victories like pausing before a drink or feeling regret sooner are crucial steps towards long-term change. The episode is packed with insights on neuroplasticity and how your brain's constant rewiring can lead to a more peaceful relationship with alcohol. Molly also touches on the importance of compassionate self-talk and staying curious, even when things don't go as planned.
This episode is a comforting reminder that your efforts are meaningful, even if they're not yet visible. So, what kind of progress have you made that no one else can see? Embrace these invisible victories and keep moving forward.
