Summary
Join me this week as I explore a fairly advanced concept, but one that I think you'll benefit hugely from. I spent years using the excuse of an impossible time period to not change the habit of drinking, and I'm hoping this reframe will help you see that this is how you can experience the most life-altering growth, not just concerning your drinking, but everywhere else in your life too.

| 0:00.0 | You are listening to the Take a Break podcast with Rachel Hart, episode 148. |
| 0:05.0 | Whether you want to drink less or stop drinking, this podcast will help you change the habit, |
| 0:11.6 | from the inside out. We're challenging conventional wisdom about why people drink, |
| 0:16.8 | and why it can be hard to resist temptation. No labels, no judgment, just practical tools to take |
| 0:23.8 | control of your desire and stop worrying about your drinking. Now, here's your host, Rachel Hart. |
| 0:30.1 | Well, hello, everybody. We are going to talk about harnessing the impossible today. I love this |
| 0:43.6 | idea. I love this concept. I want all of you to learn how to do this because it truly is a skill |
| 0:51.2 | that you can master, and it will change everything for you. I think one of the places we have to start |
| 0:57.8 | before I introduce this concept to you is just talk about how it is we go about deciding |
| 1:07.1 | when to change habits. How do we go about deciding? Now, what I did for a lot of my life |
| 1:15.2 | is think about what I believe to be the right time for change. Now, of course, we have the new year |
| 1:25.1 | 2020 is going to be coming up in a little bit. A lot of people think that the new year is the |
| 1:30.9 | right time for change. Maybe it's the first of the month. Maybe it's a Monday. Maybe it is the |
| 1:39.0 | start of a new season, whatever it is for you. Think about how it is you decide when it is the time |
| 1:47.4 | to change a habit. This is an important first step because you have probably heard me talk about |
| 1:54.1 | on the podcast that there is no magical right time. You are no more likely to succeed |
| 2:03.6 | because you start on a Monday or the first of the month or New Year's Day. And in fact, when you |
| 2:11.0 | understand how the thing feel at cycle works, you understand that these thoughts I'll wait until |
| 2:16.7 | Monday. I'll wait until the first of the month. They are actually delay tactics that the brain |
| 2:24.8 | is using. I should wait is the belief that some times of the year are better than others. But here's |
| 2:35.5 | what actually happens. That belief isn't true. It's just a permission giving thought. Is an excuse |
| 2:44.4 | that your brain wants you to believe because as long as you believe it, as long as you believe |
