In this episode, you will hear.....

3. The need to set clear goals and create an action plan with step-by-step instructions when implementing new skills or habits.

4. Immediately applying new knowledge and reflecting regularly to reinforce understanding and make improvements.

5. Iterating and adapting based on reflection to change as needed rather than giving up after one failed attempt.

6. Staying curious to continue learning about yourself, others, and how to improve - with a focus on progress over perfection.

7. Committing to implement just one new thing learned this week as a starting point for taking action.

264 \\ Using fatih and short activities to overcome urges to drink AND celebrations from the Stop Over Drinking Roadmap students!

In this episode, Michelle celebrates the progress that several members have made in reducing or stopping their alcohol consumption through the Stop Overdrinking Roadmap program.

She then discusses one member's experience with feeling resistance to change and pressure to drink after initially making good progress. Michelle emphasizes the importance of having alternative coping strategies prepared for when cravings hit.

Several practical techniques are provided for shifting one's state of mind in those challenging moments, such as listening to uplifting music, spending time in nature, dancing, or doing a short exercise routine. The "5 second rule" method of forcing oneself to take action is also introduced.

Michelle encourages relying on one's faith and relationship with God for encouragement, desire to change, and support. Resources like the Stop Overdrinking Roadmap program are mentioned for those seeking more guidance and community.

The discussion provides action steps like coming up with a list of short activities, practicing shifting one's state, and utilizing faith to overcome urges to drink when facing pressures or resistance to change.

262 \\ Exploring Mom Guilt and Healing with Alysia Lyons.

Alysia and Michelle had a conversation about motherhood, the challenges it presents, and the guilt that many mothers experience. Michelle shared about the different stages of motherhood, the challenges of raising teenagers, and how a mother's values can contribute to feelings of guilt. Alysia proposed that guilt is a notification that a person is not aligned with their values, and she emphasized that sometimes guilt is warranted, and sometimes it is not, especially when past actions cannot be changed.

Alysia and Michelle discussed the challenges of balancing work and family life. Alysia shared her experience of traveling for work and the conversations she has with her son about her absences. Both agreed on the importance of quality time with children rather than just quantity of time. They also emphasized the value of open communication with children and focusing on their feelings without judgment.

Michelle and Alysia delved into the process of emotional healing and coping, with particular emphasis on childhood triggers. Alysia pointed out that these triggers often indicate a sense of feeling unsafe and highlighted the ongoing nature of the healing process. They both stressed the importance of personal growth and healing for parents, noting that it leads to more intuitive and loving parenting. Alysia shared her personal experience of noticing improvements in her reactions and discussed them with her son.

Summary of key points:

• Michelle shares about shifting her perspective on New Year's resolutions to focus more on intentions, growth and flow rather than strict rules and pressure to be perfect.

• She discusses the importance of learning from experiences like slip ups rather than seeing them as failures. Exploring emotions and thoughts afterwards provides clarity.

• Adapting to changes in routine and environment is part of the journey, as life will present new circumstances to navigate without alcohol.

• Non-alcoholic drink options may help some people transition away from alcohol, rather than having a strict rule against them.

• Reading the Bible in a structured program like The Bible Recap can help build relationship with God by seeing it cinematically and getting daily video recaps.

• Michelle's intention for the new year is to know God more through exploring the Bible in this way.

• The Stop Over Drinking Roadmap course and community provide support for those wanting to quit drinking and learn more about themselves.
