My why at the beginning was my son. He was my external motivator for going to detox and getting the help I needed. But as time moved on, my why has shifted to be about me and the ripple effect I create in the world. My son is obviously a HUGE reason why, but he's not the only reason anymore. I love myself enough now to not what to kill myself from the inside out.

Last night I had a coaching call for the Quantum Coaching Academy, and we actually talked about our why in wanting to be a coach.

As I journaled on my why for being a coach and ultimately why I wanted to create a community of moms who are sober, struggling with sobriety, or are questioning their relationship with alcohol, I started to get really emotional. Tears started flowing, and this is what you want. That feeling you experience thinking of your why is what you need to grab onto when you want to give in. That emotional attachment you have to your why will keep you aligned. It will keep you from running to the bottle right away.

In the heat of the moment, it can be hard to train our brain to take a pause and think about why we're doing this. But that's what it's about. First becoming aware, pausing, and then once you've allowed yourself to even take a millisecond of a pause, you can disrupt the pattern. In that pause, think of your why, and if it's strong enough, you will direct your attention elsewhere.

This is the first day's lesson of the Confidently Be Alcohol-Free - 60 Day Challenge because your why is the foundation of your sobriety or business journey or really any goal you have in life.

When you're having a stressful day and just want to relax with a glass of wine, come back to your why.

When you don't even know why you're doing this in the first place, come back to your why.

Doors are CLOSING SOON for the challenge that starts on Monday!
