1. You Don't Need More Willpower
Manage episode 477339309 series 3659589
We’ve been told that if we just had more willpower, we'd be able to drink less. But what if that’s not actually true?
In this episode, I explore the limits of willpower and why it so often fails when it comes to changing deeply ingrained habits like drinking. I break down the limitations of willpower—and why relying on it alone sets you up to feel like a failure.
You’ll learn:
- why some days it’s easier to say no to a drink than others;
- how daily stress drains your willpower “battery”;
- why saying no doesn’t mean you don’t still want to drink;
- what to focus on instead of willpower to create lasting change.
This episode will help you let go of the shame and start building a more sustainable path forward.
