Stop Over-drinking and Start Living

• Ep 360 Are You Living to Avoid Discomfort or to Feel Alive?

  So many of us build our lives around avoiding discomfort — keeping the peace, staying comfortable, and managing our environment instead of truly living in it. But here’s the truth: when you spend your life trying not to feel bad, you also cut off your ability to feel good. In this episode, I explore the difference between living to avoid discomfort and living to feel alive. I share personal reflections and how over-drinking often becomes the shortcut we use to feel a spark in a life that’s gotten too small. When you stop numbing, your world expands. You start to feel everything again — and that’s where your aliveness, joy, and magic live. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: Why avoiding discomfort leads to a smaller, duller life How alcohol becomes a substitute for feeling alive What real peace feels like (it’s not comfort!)

• Ep 359 When to Be Positive (and When Not To Be)

  In this episode, I talk about the difference between genuine positivity and emotional bypassing. You know that moment when you tell yourself, “It could be worse” or “I should just be grateful”? While gratitude can be beautiful, using it to skip over pain can actually disconnect you from what’s real. We’ll explore how to know when it’s time to feel your feelings — sadness, anger, loneliness, frustration — and when it’s time to shift your thinking. True growth comes from allowing the emotion to move through you, not rushing to replace it with a “good vibe.” You’ll learn how to recognize when positivity is helping you and when it’s actually keeping you stuck in numbing patterns — like over-drinking or over-doing, instead of creating real peace. I also share when to share how you are feeling with other people.. it's nuanced and you will for sure want to hear this.

• Ep 358 Do You Believe in Magic? (Here's why I do.)

  Do you believe in synchronicities, those moments that feel too perfect to be coincidence? In this episode, I share why I believe in what I call the Magic of the Universe, the signs, parallels, and little winks from life that show you you’re on the right path. I tell the story of how I first began noticing these moments after I stopped drinking, how they’ve guided me ever since, and how they led me to one of the biggest leaps of my life, creating The Magic House retreat center in Lisbon, Portugal. If you’ve ever felt like the universe was trying to get your attention, or you’ve had those goosebump moments that make you say, “you can’t make this up,” this episode will remind you that you’re not imagining it. The signs are there, you just have to be awake enough to see them.Join The Founders Circle and be the first to experience this magic! 1/2 sold out, don't wait!https://www.angelamascenik.com/magichousefounderscircle Do You Believe in Magic by The Loving Spoonfulhttps://youtu.be/JnbfuAcCqpY?si=MoQ_JKLszauxwc1o Tags:Stop Over-drinking, Angela Mascenik, stop drinking podcast, how to feel, how to overcome addiction, how to drink less wine, change your relationship with alcohol, coach for women who want to drink less alcohol, help to stop over-drinking, stop over-drinking, life coach to help stop over-drinking, self-love, importance of self-love, online membership to stop over-drinking, program to help quit alcohol, how to quit drinking, spouses, partners, food, overeating, moderation, sober retreat, how to prioritize yourself, make yourself a priority to drink less, mental health, mental health and alcohol use, mental health awareness month, how to stop over-drinking, how to stop drinking so much wine, life coach for women who drink too much, use humor to drink less, drink less, where do I start, sober retreat, how to stop over-drinking, how to drink less alcohol, Am I an alcoholic?, why do I drink so much, how to feel your feelings, how to stop the cycle of drinking too much, coaching for women who want to drink less, life coach for drinking less alcohol, stop over-drinking and start living, Magic House, magic, believe, do you believe in magic

• Ep 357 Are You Being Selfish?

  Most of us were taught that being selfish is wrong, that putting ourselves first means we’re taking something away from others. But what if that definition is completely backwards? In this episode, I talk about what “selfish” really means, and why caring for yourself isn’t taking from anyone, it’s how you stop running on empty. You’ll learn how to recognize when guilt or people pleasing is driving your choices, how to redefine selfishness as self-care, and why meeting your own needs first actually helps everyone around you. I also share personal stories about how this lesson has shaped my own life and work. If you’ve ever felt guilty for saying no, resting, or putting yourself first, this episode will help you see that honoring your needs isn’t selfish — it’s essential.

• Ep 356 Proceed As If

  This episode explores the concept of proceeding as if it will happen. You probably do this already.. think about selling your house in order to buy a new house. Or creating art, or producing something at work. Basically, the idea is that you are creating something or want something to happen. And then you go to work to make it a reality. Business people do this all the time. They want to open a restaurant or open up a bakery or a shop that sells retail items. They rent a space, order or make the products, buy materials, and work towards an opening date where they ASSUME it will be successful and people will come in and buy their goods. I want you to think about Proceeding As If you are already someone who has stopped over-drinking or quit. What decisions to you make, what actions do you take, what do you tell people? What does that that look like what you are “proceeding as if” you have already achieved your goal of permanently changing your relationship with alcohol? I promise you if you adapt this philosophy you will see success much sooner than you might think is possible! Friday I reveal my Big Bold Move, where I used the proceeding as if philosophy in my own business and I can’t wait to share it with you!
