Listener question from Diana: She's going to her first wedding while alcohol free. You are still in stage one - the chick phase and your alcohol-free life feathers are ready to burst into growth, BUT you have a 'First' looming, and you are S*** scared about how it will go. That first could be a wedding, a flight hell getting past the airport bar, dinner with friends, alcohol-free sex, or a beach holiday - whatever it is, this tactic is for you and to be used liberally!! Enter - The Visualisation Tactic - dun dun DUNNNN (followed by drum roll!).
The wonderful thing that plays in our favour is that the brain doesn't know the difference between reality and fiction, making visualization an incredibly effective tool! Here we talk you through how to reassure your brain by pretending you've already been where you're going or had the conversation you're about to have or sat AF on the beach you're heading onto next week... whatever the scenario this tool will adapt. You will be able to navigate all these challenging things with a glint in your eye cause you've outsmarted your brain, and THAT feels good my friends!!!
What firsts are coming up for you? How will you apply the visualization tactic? Share this or any other questions you have at Chicks@SoberChickLife.com
