#127 Tips For A Successful Dry July Part 4
Top Tip For a Successful Dry July No 4 - Stop Focusing On Tomorrows Hangover
When we are taking time of alcohol we tend to spend a lot of time focusing on the hangover and anxiety post-drinking, and not enough time focusing on the issues in the moment.
Our craving doesn't care about tomorrow. It just wants to ease our discomfort right now.
If you start trying to sell tomorrow's hangover as a reason not to drink, you’ve lost it - that’s a future you problem.
Whereas if we start to think about the impact in the here and now, and in the few hours after the first drink, that can be really convincing.
Fear of the future, a bit like willpower and restriction, is a short-term strategy and will only last so long.
What we need to is:
1. Start to become the craving, need and trigger investigator.
2. Understand what is going on in the moment. For example, if we want excitement, confidence, fun, what do we believe we or the situation will be like without that?
My FREE AWARENESS worksheets are great for this and an awesome way to prepare for a success for and effortless dry July.
