Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey everyone, Leal Weston here and welcome back to the
sober Reset. You know, life's a constant stream of decisions, right,
big ones, small ones, some that feel super important and
others we barely even think about. But what if I
told you there was a way to make those healthy
(00:20):
choices automatic. Like imagine effortlessly reaching for that veggie stick
instead of the chips, or saying no thanks to that
extra cocktail without even batting an eyelid. That's the power
of mindful choice automation. It's all about rewiring your brain
for success. Today we're diving deep into this game changer.
(00:45):
It's not magic, folks, it's science and a whole lot
of conscious effort in the beginning that pays off big
time in the long run. First things first, understand that
our brains love short cuts. They're fired for efficiency, so
they create these mental pathways called habits, automatic responses to situations.
(01:07):
The problem is, sometimes those habits aren't always serving us.
Think about all those times you hit snooze on your
alarm or grab that extra slice of pizza despite knowing better.
These are autopilot moments, and we want to consciously rewrite
the code. Here's the deal, Building mindful choices into automatic
(01:30):
behaviors isn't a one size fits all approach. It's personalized.
It's about understanding what triggers your impulses and then strategically
shifting those responses. Number one, Identify your triggers. Ever felt
that craving for sugary snacks when you're stressed, or reach
(01:51):
for the phone when you feel lonely. Recognizing these patterns
is like seeing the warning signs before a train wreck,
gives you time to react. Once you know your triggers,
you can start building alternative responses. Number two, swap it out.
Don't just try to eliminate bad habits, replace them with
(02:11):
something awesome. Feeling anxious instead of scrolling through social media,
go for a walk in nature or call a friend.
Craving that sugary treat, reach for a piece of fruit
or a handful of nuts. Healthy swaps that still satisfy
your cravings. Number three the power of environment. Think about
(02:33):
your surroundings. Is your desk littered with tempting snacks? Are
you surrounded by people who always seem to be talking
about the latest binge worthy show. Your environment plays a
huge role in shaping your choices, so make it work
for you. Keep healthy options readily available, and surround yourself
(02:56):
with positive influences. Number four mindful moments, Massive impact. Take
time each day to check in with yourself. Ask what
am I feeling right now? What are my needs? This
practice helps you become more aware of your emotions and triggers,
allowing you to make conscious choices instead of reacting impulsively.
(03:21):
It's like giving your brain a many vacation, a chance
to recharge and regroup. And finally, number five, be kind
to yourself. Remember this isn't about perfection, it's about progress.
There will be slip ups along the way. That's totally normal.
Don't beat yourself up over them. Just learn from them
(03:43):
and keep moving forward. Every small step you take towards
mindful choice automation is a victory. Now picture this. You
are at a social gathering surrounded by tempting treats and drinks.
Instead of mindlessly reaching for the chips or that extra
glass of wine, you feel a sense of calm and confidence.
(04:06):
You know your triggers stress and boredom, but you also
have healthy coping mechanisms in place. You choose to connect
with friends, enjoy the conversation, and indulge in a piece
of fruit or delicious mocktail. That's the power of mindful
choice automation. So my amazing listeners, take this episode as
(04:29):
your starting point. Start identifying your triggers, swap out those
unhealthy habits, and create an environment that supports your goals.
Remember it's a journey, not a race. Celebrate your wins,
learn from your stumbles, and keep moving towards a life
of intention and purpose. Want to share your thoughts, Leave
(04:52):

social media using the sober Reset aunt. Wait to hear
your stories until next time. Stay focused, stay energized, and
remember you've got this. This podcast is created with the
