Summary

This is the biggest mistake I see people make. There’s one pattern I’ve noticed with people where they want to be sober, but they approach it in a way that makes them less likely to actually achieve sobriety. In this episode I’m going to explain how you can set yourself up for success, how to build an effective support system, and how support can help you stay sober. We’ll discuss the self-improvement trap where people enter a stage of passively collecting information without putting it into practice, and how you can start utilizing everything you’ve learned to make progress.

There's one pattern that I've noticed with people where they want to be sober, but they approach

0:05.6

it in a way that makes them less likely to actually achieve sobriety. In this episode, I'm going

0:11.9

to explain how you can set yourself up for success, how to build an effective support system,

0:17.8

and how support can help you stay sober long term. We'll discuss the self-improvement

0:22.7

trap where people enter a stage of passively collecting information without putting any of it

0:28.8

into practice and how you can start utilizing everything that you've learned to make progress.

0:34.9

And before we dig in, I'd like to take a moment to thank my sponsors who made

0:38.8

this episode possible. Life can feel like a full contact sport sometimes, and when we're sober,

0:46.2

that can feel overwhelming. Now the stress and anxiety can start to build up while we're working

0:51.7

on our tools to self-regulate. But it can feel like a lot.

0:55.5

That's why I love Tenasi and the range of products for calm, pain relief, and better sleep.

1:01.0

Each Tenasi product is THC-free, so if you like CBD, you don't have to feel uneasy about

effective as CBD alone. Tanasi helps me relax and get to sleep when I'm too stressed or I can't

1:18.2

quiet my mind. My husband has even said that he's never seen me sleep deeper. So whether

1:23.5

you prefer soft gels, gummies, tinctures, or a soothing lotion, Tenasi makes it easy to find what

1:29.6

works best for you. Go to Tanasi.com and use the code power to get 25% off. That's Tanasi,

1:36.8

T-A-N-A-S-I dot com to get 25% off your first order with the code power. Amaze Fit sent me two of the active two smart watches to try,

1:48.0

and before I could even open mine, my husband already had his on his wrist and connected to his phone.

1:54.0

He has great feedback, which I will tell you about in a moment.

1:57.0

But it's really easy to set the watch up and the battery life lasts basically forever,

2:02.3

which is good if you're someone like me who's always shocked when my AirPods are dead.
