Are you a positive person feeling defeated by your drinking habit?

It’s hard to feel optimistic when you’re struggling with intrusive thoughts and anxiety due to overdrinking. Worrying feels like the responsible thing to do. 

But if beating yourself up was an effective strategy against alcohol use disorder, your cravings for alcohol would disappear. 

It’s counterintuitive to let go of the shame and guilt before you have proof that you’re cured. But you can’t solve the problem using the mindset that is creating the problem. Your negative thoughts and feelings are just making it worse.

You already know that feeling better allows you to do better. When you manage to get it right…whatever that means to you , you feel inspired and optimistic. Which means you’re going to have to learn how to cultivate those emotions even when you’re hungover.

Michael Hunter is an acupuncturist with a master’s degree in Taoism, and the founder of UpSpiral Life, a program for people who want to learn how to use the Law of Attraction and manifestation practices to change their lives. In this episode, you’ll hear:

• How the Law of Attraction works to expand your capacity for positive emotions (and naturally reduce your desire to use alcohol as a crutch)

• Daily practices to decondition your brain from negative thinking habits

• How prioritizing a sense of optimism and peace will uplevel your life in ways you can’t even imagine

• Whether or not it’s actually possible to manifest a million bucks while you sit on the couch
