Hey, welcome to another episode of the Sober Vibes podcast. You are listening to episode 170 and today is Sober Tip Tuesday. Last week, episode 168, go Back. It was the launch of this new little pop-up series. I hope this helps you More little bite-sized episodes, specific with a topic. So if you are needing this today, I sure do hope it helps.
Speaker 1:
And I wanted to share the impact of affirmations. I know, I know, it's very sometimes hard to do affirmations. When I first started incorporate them into my life, it was uncomfortable. I laugh because I can remember doing this, because you don't quite believe right. But if you make this a habit and you are consistent with them, I will tell you it changes your perspective. You are actually rewiring your brain, in your thought, beliefs, in subconscious. You are reprogramming the new you which you need to do when it comes to living a sober life. Because, remember, you quit drinking when you're a grown ass adult and then you're a grown ass adult in this body, feeling like a newborn. So you really are starting at ground zero, and everybody starts at ground zero when they quit drinking alcohol. And it does not. It's not whether you had the worst of the worst rock bottoms, or you were getting. You were quitting drinking alcohol for the health of it, it doesn't matter. When you make a lifestyle change like this and you are eliminating something out of your life that has kept you stuck because it has for all of us who has participated in the game of alcohol you are starting at ground zero and you are rebuilding your life and yourself from there.
Speaker 1:
Okay, so I really want you to try with affirmations. They're powerful tools that shape our mindset and guide us towards positive change, okay, and they hold in a unique ability to reinforce our commitment and also to again to foster that new mindset, right? So here's a couple that I wrote out that I want you to start incorporating in your day-to-day. Use them. If not, okay, use them. Use these or start making up your own.
Speaker 1:
And then, after I read these, I'm going to tell you a couple ones that I have carried with me for years that I still use. Number one I'm strong and resilient, capable of overcoming any challenges on my path to sobriety. Each day, I make choices that align with my commitment to a healthier and happier life. My journey towards sobriety is a testament to my inner strength and determination. That one's good. Number four I deserve a life filled with clarity, joy and fulfillment. Number five I release the past and embrace the present, knowing that each sober day is a step towards a brighter future.
Speaker 1:
Okay, again, repeat these affirmations. Do it two to three times in the morning, two to three times in the afternoon, two to three times at nighttime. Right. Three times in the morning, two to three times in the afternoon, two to three times at nighttime. Right? That way it starts. You start feeling it and it just comes more and more and again. They become ingrained in your subconscious, influencing your thoughts and actions. They serve as positivity, reminding us of the strength within us to overcome challenges and to make healthier choices.
Speaker 1:
I have a little write-up of this, you guys. So the ones that I have used, and if these don't feel right, if these feel like icky to you or like it just doesn't sound like me, again change them. Other ones I have used along the way, especially too, because I had to really build up my self-esteem in my sobriety, because I never had any, one of the reasons why I drank. But I, like I am bright, brilliant and beautiful. I got that one from the book you Are a Badass, and that one has always stuck to me.
Speaker 1:
If you're ever having bouts of anxiety the one that has helped me so much I'm exactly where I need to be right now. I am exactly where I need to be right now. Now I will tell you I have had throughout the years. It's easier to deal with now because I've just accepted it's a part and I know what tools to use to work through it. Or I just am like, okay, it's my anxiety, what do I need to do in this moment to chill? But there has been times where I would walk and say that on like repeat. So if you have to do more than two to three times, please do so, because it starts that phrase starts getting you into the present moment and what you are doing right now is good and it takes to away from the overwhelm. Because with anxiety, it's very easy to go forward and be like I got this to do and what I'm doing right now, I'm never going to get all those things done right. So put your ass in check. Use that one. It's a good one.
Speaker 1:
There's so many affirmations out there, you guys. There's apps that you can download that have affirmations. I like to put a lot of affirmations into the sobriety circle because again you're rewiring your subconscious, you're rewiring your thoughts and building the new you up. I even have to say I've taken this a step further and I do these with my son in the morning time now, and me and that little dictator look in the mirror and I have a couple that I say to him and he says it back to me and this is just because I want him to feel that and to believe it and to know it that he is these things and even like my little dictator, affirmations, they make me feel good too, right, so speak the affirmations. Couple more tips you can do. Write it on post-it notes.
Speaker 1:
Affirmations a couple more tips you can do. Write it on Post-it notes. Put the Post-it notes somewhere where you can see them every day. Put these affirmations in your calendar and have it come up in your phone calendar and have it come up, program them as an alarm. I have those all throughout my phone throughout the day that come up. So I really do believe in the power of affirmations and how it can, how they make you feel and believe in yourself, and you really have to believe. Like I said, those first couple of days are going to be uncomfortable, but just keep practicing. Remember anything that you do for the first time that you haven't done. It's gonna be uncomfortable until it's not, and then it just becomes a way of right, like it works, it works.
