Abstinence from alcohol Abstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past. Benefits of “low-risk” drinking Following these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. Today's episode we're talking about how learning can become an obstacle to change.  Learning can feel like you're doing something really positive towards changing your relationship with alcohol, but it can also keep you from taking action.   When I first tried to change my relationship with alcohol, the learning about neursocience, and the science of alcohol, learning cognitive behavioral therapy was exciting and rewarding. It felt like I was taking steps toward change. And in the beginning I was...but at a certain point, I allowed learning to stop me from taking action.  If we focus our thoughts on how much information is available we can also become overwhelmed.   Are you a fan of motivational speakers?  I always have been. I've always enjoyed listening to motivational speakers and have been guilty of feeling all in, motivated and determined at the end of the speech or event...feeling confident I could bottle the confidence and motivation that I felt in that moment and carry it on to the next day. The speakers would warn us to not waste feeling inspired without taking action...in fact renowned self-help guru Tony Robbins, talks  about taking MASSIVE action...I'll link one of his talks on YouTube about it..but he uses this term of MAP for Massive Action Plan and how reaching your potential requires taking MASSIVE action.  Here's the problem, it felt good when I listened to Tony Robbins, but then I kept trying to figure out what my MASSIVE action should be. The massive action sounded like it had to be BIG, it had to be something TOTALLY different then what I was doing. So instead of meeting myself where I was at, and understanding how my thoughts were driving my feelings...I'd focus all my attention on on taking MASSIVE Action, which I believed meant completely different...so when it came to my drinking habits it was RULES...only on the weekend, no more than two drinks ever...a 7-day streak to PROVE that I could...and when I inevitably broke my rules, broke the streak...I'd allow my failed actions to reinforce the negative self-talk that was fueling the drinking habit in the first place.  What massive action really means I've come to realize is taking  CONSISTENT action.  I've shared before on the podcast and I go a little more in depth in my book about having a plan...this is a plan of ACTION  that evolves from having new thoughts about alcohol. But taking this ACTION is key.  .I want to share with you one more thing that can happen with regards to all of our learning and I heard this from Elizabeth Benton on Primal Potential. It's what happens when we take in all this wonderful information and education and we DON'T take action.  Elizabeth calls it the GAP.  The GAP is actually the feeling that happens when you become AWARE of everything that's possible for you and yet you're still stuck in the old patterns and habits.  And as you keep learning new things and not taking action, the GAP widens, which can lead to you feeling defeated and worthless. Like that great thought...you KNOW BETTER, why can't you just do it.  Elizabeth says: "It is a real gift to desire to improve yourself. Not everyone has that desire; some people are content to live their lives without changing at all. They're not interested in extending to that outer edge of the spectrum. They're not listening to the podcasts, reading the books, or attending events and workshops. They're not interested in growing, and so they're not creating the gap.  If you've created a gap it's because you ARE someone who wants to change their lives."

It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. This week on the podcast I'm talking about compelling reasons and why even though self-help gurus talk about "finding your why" having just one "why" may not be enough to change your habits.  Instead have many reasons.  Start with easy reasons and work to find the deeper reasons. Write your reasons down and revisit them often. Keep them front and center in your life.  Have more reasons to change your relationship with alcohol than you do to keep your drinking habit.  This episode inspired by Primal Potential podcast episode #903.  Resource mentioned: The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy

Elizabeth Benton is known as a health and nutrition guru, but to me, she is more of a "mindset guru." She is someone who has dug herself out of being $130,000 in debt, and has lost (and kept off )150 lbs. My audience from the Logical Weight Loss podcast told me I HAD to read her book, Chasing Cupcakes (get it for free on Audible), and once I finished her book, I checked out her Primal Potential podcast and downloaded all of her episodes. I was thrilled when she agreed to come on the show and explain how podcasting has boosted her business.

MYB EPISODE 7: WHAT TO DO (AND NOT DO) AFTER OVEREATING OR BINGING   In today's episode, we share strategies for:   1) moving past food choices we don't feel good about 2) creating healthier patterns in the future   Step 1:  AVOID MAKING THE SITUATION WORSE   Avoid self-judgment and, instead, get GENTLY CURIOUS about what led to your choices. Were you stressed? Exhausted? Frustrated? Not have food prepped or packed? Do your best to avoid adding emotional drama to the situation.  This isn't helpful or kind AND it often leads to more poor decisions. Don't make it mean something about you as a person.  A food choice does not define us NOR determine our worth. Read that again. One more time out loud.  “My food choices are 100% unrelated to my inherent worth.” Avoid “always” and “never” statements. Example:  “I always do this. I'm never going to be able to figure this out!”  None of this is true. Do something kind for yourself.  Less than optimal food choices can be a result of us not getting our needs met in more nurturing ways.  Start to break this pattern with self-care. Take more breaks, schedule fun activities into your week, and make sure you have things to look forward to. Keep your commitments for the remainder of the day (maintain normalcy) and don't isolate   STEP 2:  HOW TO CREATE HEALTHIER EATING PATTERNS IN THE FUTURE   Get clear that food does NOT have more power than you do. Does that mean we should always eat “clean”? No. It means that no matter how strong our temptations may be, we hold the ultimate power to choose.   Start connecting the dots between the idea that “I like being able to eat whatever I want” and not maybe not feeling your best. Food tracking/journaling is a powerful tool to help you identify the foods/eating patterns that make you feel great and those that don't. If you're going to indulge, choose ONE thing rather than multiple things.  This is a middle ground strategy for those times you decide to indulge but don't want to feel out of control. When we stick to one thing, we get ‘palate fatigue'. When we add in a variety of textures and flavors (crunchy, creamy, salty, sweet), we can consume a lot more.    Strategize self-care rituals around the times an episode might normally occur (credit to Elizabeth Benton of Primal Potential for this strategy).  If you notice that overeating/bingeing occurs in the evening, you may want to plan social time, a fun class, a massage, etc. during this time to help create new patterns.     FINAL THOUGHT: If you try these strategies and don't feel like you're making much headway, consider that it may be time to work with someone who specializing in eating disorders.  A peaceful relationship with food and body is something we all deserve and it IS possible to create but sometimes we need some support to make it happen. Eating Disorder Resources: You can always e-mail Jenny (she's an ED therapist & coach) at jenny@rlcwichita.com or PM her on Facebook (facebook.com/coachjennyhelms) to get connected to the resources that would be best for you! She loves connecting people with the right resources and also provides online therapy to those in need outside of the Wichita area. *NEDA (the National Eating Disorder Association) is also a great resource.
