Love Yourself.......



Morning All

I've been a bit lax writing a post every day. I'm always here & you can always contact me: thebestsobercoach@gmail.com 

Awake since 3.20am & I've feel like I've done a day's work already. But actually I use this time for reflection. I read stuff, I write stuff, this morning I put on a charcoal face mask & I had a long soak in the bath which was bliss & has now set me up for the day. Twilight is 'my time'. Time for ME. I love it. When is your 'my time' for you?

New Years are always a bit of a 'funny one' not funny ha ha but funny weird. I love the run up to a new year. It gives me time to reflect & time to plan my year ahead. Most of my plans in 2020 were scuppered because of covid. This time last year I'd booked 3 short midweek breaks & was researching Denmark. I just managed to squeeze that trip in before lockdown. I had to cancel the rest.

New Year = New Goals. Now that you're halfway through Dry January why not take the time to review your original goals - have they changed at all? Are there some more to add? What's different? Write in that notebook that I hope you've bought by now! Your Notebook should be your 'go to' to write about your journey: how you feel, what you do, how you're sleeping, anything. It's very personal to you, for you!

You will be noticing a difference in your Mind Set. You've broken a habit which creates a Mind Shift. What do you feel differently about?
When I had finished my first 14 days sober I had soooooo much time on my hands I was twiddling my thumbs in the evening. This was my biggest challenge - filling the time! I watched TV a lot to keep my mind off the Wine Witch. And guess what, she came whispering every evening. It takes a lot of courage & willpower to complete Dry January. I found it so hard which is why I've decided to give my help, advice & encouragement.  I hope it's working.......

3 Empowering Words: I DON'T DRINK

Day 11 Dry January 2021 Happy Monday Everyone! How are you? I'm 'live' on 'Your Sober Coach' Facebook Page every day @9am. I post it so you can go back & watch it. There's one for every day so far. I hope they help especially if you've just joined me. The Little Book of Confidence by Susan Jeffers is one of my favourites: Here are 2 pages that I've found really helpful: What Happens When You Give 100%? When you commit to giving 100% to all areas of your life, your sense of focus, excitement, participation, enjoyment fulfilment & happiness come alive, perhaps for the first time. What a glorious feeling this is! Giving 100% Does Not Mean Forever. Life is always bringing us new adventures. New challenges arise involving career moves; relationships may end, & so on. But if you have given 100%, when the time comes to move on, there is nothing to regret. I love this & have found it really helpful & incredibly reassuring. How's your note...

Day 7 - ONE WEEK!!!!!! Morning All Emotions - when you give something up it tends to heighten the emotions. Are you feeling more emotional than usual? Every time I stopped drinking for a period of time it would feel like an Emotional Rollercoaster!!!! Tearful? I would cry at anything. Do you use alcohol as a crutch? I know I did. Think about it. You've taken your crutch away or you could call it a safety blanket - everything feels a bit raw doesn't it? Are you feeling sad? You're missing your friend in the bottle. Habits are so hard to break - CONGRATULATIONS - you've broken the back of the first week. This is a HUGE achievement - WELL DONE! 7 Days in....Your sleep should be alot better. Your skin, is it clearer, almost brighter? Your whites of your eyes, are they clearer? Write it all in your notebook. We're fast approaching Friday Night - 'The Danger Zone' - Plan Ahead what are you going to do? Decide how your evening's going to pan out. Plan what you...

Don't Be Afraid. Be........

Morning All Day 8 Dry January 2021 I'm awake at the crack of a sparrow's fart yet again. And I've made use of my twilight hours by completing my tax return. I've always been a last minute .com kinda girl. Give me a deadline & I will go right up to the final hour. So I'm proud of myself for not doing my usual 11.55pm on January 31st. How are you? This quote from Michelle Obama is one of my favourites. Don't Be Afraid. We are all so much stronger than we think we are. My mantra for 2021 is 'feel the fear & do it anyway' this is from a book by Susan Jeffers that I read years ago. Get yourself a copy if you've not read it. I found it truly inspiring. You are all being incredibly brave by embracing Dry January - you are creating a NEW YOU. Be Focused : Focus on YOU. Focus on your selfcare. Focus on your emotions. Focus on planning your days. Focus on not drinking alcohol. Focus on getting out in the fresh air. Focus on what you're grateful for...
