Eveing Gang - some thoughts
Realize your goals for the New Year-- First, analyze your past behavior patterns as a means to learn how to problem solve more effectively. This self-analysis will cover both the negative and positive aspects of how you have chosen to behave in the past, and what can be learned from these patterns of behavior.
By learning from the past, you can then take that knowledge and apply it to your current lifestyle and the future. After you have thoroughly completed analyzing your past behaviors, create and apply short and long term goals for a more fulfilling future through a solid, written, plan
Don?t live in fear. --Don't let alcohol become who you are; the biggest misconception about alcohol is that it has powers to control the mind and body. The alcohol does not come alive and raise your hand to drink more. Know that you have control over alcohol or any substance and your own life and choices. The one damaging thing about booze is that the idea of as a "disease" is reinforced over and over again. It will leave someone feeling like you have no hope or chance of living a normal life without the thought of alcohol.
This is NOT TRUE
Be open to positive change and visualize it. --Making lifestyle changes may not be easy and that may be especially true for those who are trying to overcome alcohol. Change requires a commitment and work. It's okay to come out of a comfort zone and take some risks. It will be well worth it later when you have achieved something you thought you could not. In 2013 make an oath to yourself to treat your body better, and embrace new things and experiences.
Be responsible for your own happiness. --Right now if you are unhappy with the way that life has gone for you it is time to take matters into your own hands. Take responsibility for your choices and actions going forward. Before getting drunk think of the risks and consequences, is it worth it for a temporary fix?
Understand who you are and who you want to be! --In order to change your habits you must understand what you want out of life. You can start each day by assessing what small changes in thought and behavior would make you a better person or bring you closer to the person you want to be? Ask yourself, what would make you the happiest? What are your interests, likes and dislikes, and what are your talents? As you take the time to assess what you really want for your life, you will gain direction which will enable you to create a successful future.
Cheers,
Marty
