Hi There Sister, and welcome to the swirling of thoughts…
How many days in the week are you feeling overwhelmed,
stressed, or anxious…?
Do you find yourself reaching for a glass of Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard 'River Stones' Malbec
with the confirmation of a storyline that you deserve every last drop…
or swirling the ice in a mixed cocktail at the end of an excruciating day to help yourself relax, unwind, and simply stop…?
If so, you're not alone.
Many women all over the world,
turn to alcohol as a way to slow down
… a coping mechanism for the racing thoughts and to numb our emotions, when it feels a bit tough.
However, it's important
to remember
that alcohol is a nervous system depressant, and while it may provide this temporary relief from all this chaos swirling inside
… it can ultimately do more harm - than good.
When life feels chaotic and overwhelming, it's completely natural to seek solace in something, anything - that helps you relax, to unravel, or to sleep
After a long damn drive.
Before you know it, alcohol becomes a go-to method for coping with stress and anxiety.
And with this, let’s science a bit, shall we…?
Alcohol works by slowing down the central nervous system, which can create an illusion of relaxation and calm.
This is why it's often used as a social lubricant a way to let your hair down, after feeling like you’ve been pent up all day.
However, while it may provide a temporary escape from the pressures from the boss, from the ex, from the grocery check-out clerk
that tossed your bananas…
with this nasty cough…
that glass of a coping mechanism
can ultimately lead to a host of negative side effects.
First, this is usually a temporary solution to a much larger problem.
Instead of addressing the root causes of stress and anxiety, relying on alcohol only masks the symptoms, until it wears off...
Say that wine was aged a bit too long and mixed with the sushi you ate…
Uh oh… when you find yourself at 2 am wide awake…
… with your belly in knots-
a question swirling:
what did you do…?
and none of it tasted all that great
coming back up.
Additionally, frequent alcohol use can lead to a host of physical and mental health issues, including liver damage, increased risk of certain cancers, and worsening the anxiety of future casting and depression of catering to a ghost, some pastime
- that no longer requires YOU
to be obliging.
Furthermore, relying on alcohol as a way to relax can often lead to a dangerous cycle of dependency.
Over time, your body may build up a tolerance to alcohol…
Meaning…?
You'll need to consume more and more to achieve the same level of relaxation.
This can lead to addiction, where no one in your family can recognize you and other serious health complications.
So, since we just skimmed the surface-
What can you do to relax and unwind without turning to alcohol…?
It's essential to find healthy, sustainable ways to manage stress and anxiety
Here are 3 quick tips to support you:
1. Incorporating mindfulness practices, such as meditation and deep breathing exercises, can help you calm your mind
and center yourself.
2. Engaging in regular physical activity, whether it's yoga, walking, or dancing, can help release tension and boost your mood.
3. Making time for self-care activities, such as taking a bath, reading a book, or indulging in a hobby can also provide much-needed relaxation without the negative effects of alcohol tomorrow morning.
It's important to remember that seeking help is not a sign of weakness, but an act of self-care.
If you find that your reliance on alcohol to relax is becoming a concern, don't hesitate to reach out for support.
Whether it's talking to a trusted friend or family member, seeking the guidance of a therapist, or attending a support group, there are many resources available to help you navigate-
to LIVE life in the fullness of expression- without sedating.
By seeking out healthy, sustainable alternatives, you can find true relaxation and peace of mind without compromising your overall well-being.
Remember, you deserve to feel relaxed and at ease in a way that supports your overall health and happiness
And having some wild SEX in the middle of nowhere
feeling the bark on the trees...
... could really help
a whole bunch ❤️🔥
Might consider looking at a plane ticket, here shortly…
just sayin’
Appreciate you stopping in;
will be seeing you soon~
