Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 129, Your Enduring Human Spirit Jun 16, 2021

Show notes

This week's podcast is inspired by my recent trip to New York City and visiting the One World Trade Center and the sight of the 9/11 attacks. I hadn't been there since 2006, so it looked a lot different, it was gorgeous. It was very moving and I couldn't help but think about the human spirit and how it endures hardships and often comes out of hardships even better than before. That's what I saw in NYC this past weekend. Just like many of you, who have overcome their struggle with alcohol, this area where the twin towers used to live was like a phoenix rising from the ashes, stronger and more beautiful than before. On July 4, 2004, they laid a cornerstone of the new 'freedom tower' now called the One World Trade Center, a 20 ton piece of granite inscribed with these words 'enduring spirit of freedom.' Just like Americans value their freedom and won't let anyone take that away from them YOU have an enduring spirit within you that is with you no matter what, in hardship and in joy. Tune in this week and hear how you can tap into your own enduring human spirit and notice how it's been with you all along.

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 128, Taking a New Route Jun 09, 2021

Show notes

This week I'm discussing the process of taking a new route with your drinking patterns.We all know what it's like to learn something new. It takes time. It takes repetition. It takes making mistakes along the way.But when it comes to learning how to stop over-drinking.. we expect perfection.. we are hard on ourselves when we don't do it perfectly.This episode illustrates just how automatic the process of over-drinking has been for us.We don't have to consciously * think * too hard about doing it. We just do.It's the same process as driving home from work.. we don't really have to think about which roads to turn on, we just know and do it.Now, change the route home and try to do that without thinking too hard.. well, you will probably miss some turns.Change the silver ware drawer in your kitchen.. notice how often you go back to grab the silverware in the old location.Taking a new route with alcohol requires us paying attention, getting conscious about our old patterns and having a new route mapped out in advance so that we learn how to drink less.You don't want to miss this one! **Interested in joining the Stop Over-drinking and Start Living coaching program? click the link below and watch all 3 videos, read through the information and then click >>APPLY

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 127, Stop Fighting For Your Problems Jun 02, 2021

Show notes

In this week's episode, I highlight how we have a tendency to 'fight for our problems.' Meaning, we like to say 'I can't stop.. I keep doing xxxxx... I'm never gonna figure this out..'As humans, we like to highlight our past patterns and fight for evidence that it's hard for us to change. But when we do this, we just keep convincing ourselves that we are right. And you will keep creating the exact problems you DON'T WANT TO HAVE.So, in this episode, I'm teaching you how you can STOP fighting for your current struggles and START fighting for what you WANT instead.Link to sign up for TONIGHTS (6/2/21) FREE Public Q+A call with Angela @ 7:00 pm ESThttps://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_j-YFpbdDTGiu-LgQ4L1yQALink to register for SODSL: The CONFERENCE (6/4/21 - 6/6/21) https://www.angelamascenik.com/theconference Link to apply for Angela's 6-month coaching program, watch the 3 videos and then apply:https://angelamascenik.lpages.co/

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 126, Bypassing Emotions May 26, 2021

Show notes

I am digging in this week on what it means to bypass your feelings.What happens when you don't allow yourself to be sad [insert any emotion]?When you think you 'shouldn't' be sad.. and don't acknowledge that you ARE sad you are bypassing how you feel.This causes a disconnect and you become out of alignment with what is happening inside of you and who you are.And you notice that disconnect subtly.. you might think 'what is wrong with me?' or 'Why aren't I happy..?' 'Or what am I supposed to be doing..'You might notice more buffering like over-drinking or overeating and avoiding doing things that you actually want to be doing.Acknowledging that you ARE experiencing an emotion is exactly what we should be doing.There is nothing wrong with you for having feelings. All humans have them, we just aren't taught about them and what to do with them when they come up.Honoring yourself and naming and accepting the feelings you have is the way to preventing more problems like over-drinking or overeating down the line.Your feelings have messages to tell you if you slow down enough and listen.Tune in and learn how to stop bypassing your own emotional experiences so you can move through them and get to the other side of feeling better.DON'T FOR GET TO SIGN UP FOR The Conference: 3-day virtual event with Angela. www.angelamascenik.com/theconference **Interested in joining the Stop Over-drinking and Start Living coaching program? click the link below and watch all 3 videos, read through the information and then click >>APPLY

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 125, How to Identify Self-Sabotage May 19, 2021

Show notes

I used to think self-sabotage meant I was doing something wrong.. and I didn’t like thinking that about myself so I haven’t enjoyed using the term self-sabotage until now. I now think self-sabotage is actions I'm doing that aren’t helping me get the results I want. When I think about it this way I feel curious and open to figuring out why I’m doing things I really don't want to do. Being willing to learn about your own self-sabotaging behaviors is taking responsibility for actions you take that don’t create the results you want. For most of you that would mean drinking more than you actually want. For example, wanting and planning that you will only drink 2 and you end up drinking 4, if you do that over and over again, we want to look at that and see why. Humans will always self-sabotage, it’s what we do. So, there is nothing wrong with you. We have limiting beliefs about ourselves and other people and those beliefs often cause us to do things we don’t really want to do. They won’t go away.. but we can shine the light on them and understand our patterns, and recognize them when they are happening and make adjustments so we don’t stay in self-sabotage as long as we normally do and we can still get to our goals. Tune in this week to learn how to identify self-sabotaging patterns so you can get to your goals faster! Join me for SODSL The Conference!!It's happening June 4th-6th and it's VIRTUAL! Live workshops, success panels, hot-seat coaching, and lots of FUN!Register Here: www.angelamascenik.com/theconference **Interested in joining the Stop Over-drinking and Start Living coaching program? click the link below and watch all 3 videos, read through the information and then click >>APPLY

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 124, When Things Change May 12, 2021

Show notes

Humans like to know what is going to happen. We like routine, structure and doing the same things.. because it's predictable, we know what to expect, and we don't have to constantly scan for danger. Because of this we might be feeling a little unsettled right now as the US starts to open back up and we have more social engagements, travel opportunities, or as we go back to work and being around more people and commuting. A lot of you have been working on how much you are drinking and you might have noticed an uptick in drinking more or are worried that you won't be able to stick to your new non-over drinking habits as you become more social. This podcast episode addresses these changes and gives you some tools to make sure you recognize what might be triggering you to want to drink more or worry about drinking more.
