You are revolutionary.
I used to drink “at” the news.
Honestly, I used to drink “at” a lot of things…
I wanted to numb the darkness.
…and of course I did, right?
Wanting to seek shelter from the ugliness of the world — that seems to be growing exponentially, doesn’t it? — is an understandable goal.
But let me tell you: Drinking alcohol to cope with darkness just perpetuates the dark.
Alcohol’s False Relief
During the COVID-19 pandemic, I drank every single day.
At the time, it felt like a way to soften the edges of my overwhelm but, in hindsight, I see how directly it impacted my perspective, outlook, and degraded my overall mental health.
Over time, the hormonal-chain-reaction that alcohol creates in your system drags you further and further downwards…
It drags you into depression.
And it distances you from your ::self::
And then everything gets dull…
Everything feels dark.
Finding the Light
The most powerful lesson I’ve learned in my own journey — in taking a break from alcohol and letting those chemicals balance out and reset:
✨ The darkness is always tinged by light.
✨ The good is always out there.
Alcohol is a dark cloud that can obscure your access to hope… but the good news is there’s a fix!
To all the beautiful deep-thinkers and deep-feelers out there trying to cope right now, I see you. I’m right there with you.
Instead of focusing on the big [overwhelming] problems of the world, just take a breath, take a beat, and start with something small.
Start with yourself.
Find any little openings to create more peace in your own life… in your mind and heart.
This will start to shift the way you show up in the world.
For yourself, your family, friends, coworkers, children…
The Ripple Effect
We change the world in concentric circles.
When you start to lift your own spirit, everything around you changes.
Just like the world around us is on fire…
The fire in our hearts is also burning. 🔥
You can change this world. …you really can.
You are revolutionary.
