Aging Flipped - Defying the Norms and Celebrating Every Chapter of Life

On this episode of Exit The Drinking Life Podcast, I’m sharing my revelations on how nothing outside of us actually creates the feelings that exist inside of us. The reality is that we create our feelings and the experiences of our lives through our own thoughts and actions.

There are so many feelings that society imposes on us, dictating that we “should” feel a certain way when XYZ happens. But what happens when the opposite is true? I explore that here, along with how you can change your thoughts around alcohol throughout your EXIT journey.

Some of the topics and questions raised in this episode are:

The power of reframing our thoughts
Reliance on alcohol to dictate feelings
Challenging yourself to think differently

I hope that this episode ignites your curiosity around the way you’re approaching your feelings and how you alter them with the power of your thoughts and mindset. As you make your EXIT from drinking, it can be hard to imagine who you’ll be or how you’ll be happy without your beverage of choice. But approaching your feelings and thoughts differently can go a long way in easing these worries.

Small Changes to Make a Big Difference in Reaching Your Ideal Future Self

On this episode of Exit The Drinking Life Podcast, I’m diving into how important it is to imagine a future you, free of the hold alcohol has on you. Our brains are wired to either assume we can’t reach this new version of ourselves or to think we’ll wake up a completely different person through this change. However, if you go about imagining this future you with the right frame of mind, it can be a really powerful part of your journey.

Some of the topics and questions raised in this episode are:

How I struggled during my EXIT journey to envision the “future me”
The natural human tendencies that stand in the way of envisioning your journey to success
The importance of this “future self” in your EXIT journey

I hope that this episode brings awareness to the fact that even when it feels like a complete impossibility that one day alcohol will be an irrelevant part of your life. Imagining a future you where that’s the case can help you come out the other side.

Wanting to change is powerful, but it’s not enough

Maybe you’ve already experienced this:

• A deep knowing your relationship with alcohol is damaging.

• Several attempts at changing how you drink, but nothing sticks.

• Deep feelings of shame, guilt, and regret.

• A lack of simple day-to-day joy.

Maybe you’ve accepted this is just how life is.

I want you to know it doesn’t have to be.

To help you with a method that actually let's you interrupt your habits without feeling like you are missing out, I've put together a 6 week Sober October Experiment!

With a 100% 6-week money-back guarantee. YES, 100% money-back guarantee.

Are you willing to dedicate yourself to changing your thinking, and ending the control alcohol has over your life?

A study conducted by One Year No Beer found these results for people who gave up alcohol for 4 weeks:

• 73% were more productive

• 74% had reduced anxiety

• 82% had dramatically improved sleep

• 73% of participants lost weight

• 92% were much happier!! (did you get that!? Not just happier, but much happier)

Check out what I've put together for you....

.....imagine a life happier and more at peace.

I'd love to have you join me in this experiment.
