This is a series of 66 mini podcasts - to support you through a 66 day alcohol free challenge.
The challenge lasts for 66 days because that's how long it takes to change a habit.
We have published an e-book called "66 days to sobriety" (available on our website https://www.tribesober.com) - this book contains 66 pages of tips, tools and motivation so I will read a page a day for these mini podcasts.
I will also update you on the healing taking place in your body and mind as you progress through the 66 days.
Meditate!
Perhaps your alcohol free time would be a great opportunity to give meditation a try. As with exercise, we are discovering more and more benefits to meditation.
The human brain is susceptible to a variety of addictions. Apart from the obvious ones another addictive habit that we have is overthinking. In fact, some Buddhists have a phrase for this addiction: ‘monkey mind.’
Overthinking is not merely a distracting habit, it’s also a genuine compulsion that leaves us in a perplexing state, while also having a negative effect on our spiritual development. However, scientists are finally catching up to what Buddhists have known for thousands of years:
Meditation and mindfulness are essential to a healthy mind.”
If you are new to meditation there are some great “apps” around that can help you get started – “Headspace” and “Calm” are both excellent.
