Stress, Anxiety, & Poison
If your body feels good, then you’re going to be under less stress.
And so that’s why we recommend Thrive Nutrition.
When your body has everything it needs.
Like the water, like the vitamins and nutrients and minerals.
When your body has everything it needs; even at your lowest you’ll have less anxiety.
That’s because your machine is operating appropriately.
It has everything it needs.
So, you feel more fulfilled.
Secondly: When you enjoy being alive, obviously, you’ve got less stress going on.
If there is stress, you’re excited to solve it and work with it.
Stress and anxiety are the symptoms of not managing a lifestyle that is conducive to what you prefer.
So, anxiety, the physical shakes, and the sleepless nights, the worrying; all of those happen when we are not present in the moment.
When it comes to depression and stress and anxiety, we don’t necessarily want to focus on symptom management because that’s what alcohol is.
You choose alcohol to manage the symptoms of your stress.
It could be feel like over thinking, over processing, no diet, sleepless nights, insomnia etc.
That’s what happens when we’re stressed out.
And so, we look for an immediate relief, a shortcut.
Numbing yourself to the symptoms isn’t a solution, it’s ignorance.
The way you manage your anxiety changes when you design a life that brings anxiety that you don’t mind having.
It comes down to first: accepting the fact that you’re not that great at managing our stress and you’re the reason that stress exist.
You don’t have to take everything personally.
We don’t have to care about everything.
Nothing really matters except what we choose to care about.
And I talk about this inside the Beyond Sober Program in module one.
When you can accept things for what they are, instead of punishing yourself for what they’re not, you’re not going to want to suffer with the poison.
Moving forward it’s important is to get clear with what’s stressing you out, what your anxiety looks like, what your coping mechanisms are, and what does the happy healthy version of you do when something happens in 90 days from now.
Are you’re going to reach for alcohol again or are you going to find another way to manage it?
Perhaps, going for a walk, sitting in the sun, connecting with a friend, meditated, drinking water.
There are infinite things to do that are not alcohol.
Start getting very clear with what the happy & healthy version of you looks like and start actively doing all of those things.
