105: 10 Transformational Changes to Consider

Let's Get Uncomfy

WE ARE BACK! And y'all I GLOWED UP these past 6 months, I swear. If you haven't been following along on IG, let me share what I mean in this episode. Get ready... Hopefully at least one of these changes I've implemented will inspire you to make some sort of change or improvement in YOUR life because I promise you...you control your destiny more than you know. 10 Changes I’ve made that’ve transformed my life in 6 months: 1. I quit alcohol- this one was the gateway to freeing up time &energy to make the other changes. For me, when alc was a part of my life, it stole SO MUCH of my ME-NESS that I didn’t have the capacity for the rest of these changes. I challenged myself to start w 6 mo, &now, I truly have found the sober side of me, which feels like THE most authentic & glowed-up version of me✨ 2. I went all in on a health/fitness goal- like ALL in. I started w deciding on WHAT goal (returning to bodybuilding), then set a time frame (6 mo), hired my coach, started my plan & took it one day at a time, showing up daily & trusting the process w/o the option to quit 3. I spend time alone- & LEARNED TO LOVE IT. It gets easier the more you practice. Like building a muscle, it’s uncomfy when you’re working on it but the more you do it, the stronger you get. This has transformed the relationship I have w myself & eased so much anxiety in my life 4. I’ve experimented w & adopted new hobbies- getting uncomfy baby! Spending my time in new ways has shown me what I’m capable of, opened my eyes to new ppl, new ways to have fun, new challenges & keeps me falling in love w new sides of myself 5. 11 min of cold exposure per week- my 4am cold plunge is my fav change I’ve added to my routine. (I have a reel on why I do it if you’re curious about specifics) 6. I’ve changed how I spend my money- this goes along w my sobriety. Since not spending money on alc, bars, & nights out, I have more to put toward things that mean more to me or are more positive for me 7. I spend time in reflection- constant reevaluation of myself! Pinpointing where I’m winning & where I’m struggling 8. I started a new business venture before I was “ready”- The Sober Experiment coaching program! “Ready” is a lie. Start the thing. LEAN IN 9. I defined WHO I want to show up as & make decisions based on THAT version of me- this means sacrificing urges and rewriting toxic patterns/habits 10. I tightened my social circle- not everyone is owed your energy. Remember that! Love from afar, prioritize who gets access to you & who you surround yourself with🫶🏼 --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/annie-graft/support
