Mastering the Three Ds: Delay, Distract, Decide – Your Key to a Wine-Free Weekend

Welcome to another episode of "Wellbeing Without Wine!" In todays episode titled "Wellbeing Weekend Without Wine," we delve into the topic of having a weekend without wine and how it can positively impact our overall well-being. Join your host, Deirdre Coyne, as she shares valuable insights, tips, and resources to help you navigate through a weekend without relying on wine.  Deirdre introduces us to the "three Ds" technique – delay, distract, decide – which can empower us to resist the urge for that extra glass or even the first sip of wine. She explains how by delaying the decision for 25 minutes, distracting ourselves with meaningful activities during that time, and then deciding based on thoughtful considerations, we can make a more conscious choice about our alcohol consumption.  Throughout the episode, Deirdre encourages us to reflect on the advantages and disadvantages of drinking, how it aligns with our life goals, and how it may impact our overall well-being. She emphasizes the importance of balancing instant gratification with delayed gratification and reminds us that we seldom regret choosing not to indulge in that extra drink. However, Deirdre also acknowledges that this approach is primarily for those who fall into the gray area of drinking and not for individuals with alcohol dependency. If you suspect you have a dependency, she advises consulting with your doctor before making any changes to your alcohol intake. Tune in to this insightful episode as Deirdre guides us towards a weekend without wine, inviting us to explore the possibilities of enhanced well-being and the joy that can come from embracing conscious choices.

What if the very thing you turn to for relaxation and stress-relief is actually contributing to your mental woes? Imagine a life where your physical energy is amplified, your sleep is undisturbed, and your stress levels are significantly lower.

Emotional Eating Card - When we learned to manage stress and anxiety with food

Imagine learning that your relationship with food is not merely about hunger or pleasure, but might be rooted in deeper psychological triggers? Fascinating, isnt it? In our enlightening conversation today, we plunge into the complex interplay of food, stress, and anxiety and explore how we often use food as a solace to deal with discomforting emotions. We trace back to our childhood, unravelling if inconsistencies or chaos during those formative years contributed to us resorting to food for comfort. This is a journey of self-discovery, as we pinpoint these hidden triggers and patterns leading to emotional eating. But unraveling the past is just the half of it. The real battle is changing these deeply ingrained habits. Lets walk together on this path of transformation, setting boundaries and challenging our thought processes to build a healthier relationship with food. As part of this journey, were thrilled to announce the launch of 30 Day Eating Freedom Challenge. Starting on the 3rd of October, we aspire to build a supportive community for everyone aiming to improve their relationship with food and manage their emotions using healthier coping mechanisms.
