GO SOBER THIS OCTOBER – YOUR IDENTITY COMPRISES THE LABELS YOU GIVE YOURSELF?

Understanding how you label yourself is a core part of successfully stopping drinking.

To make any lasting change in your life you need to change your story and believe it. Your new story will put you on a new trajectory, a new journey.

You are the star of your story and your identity is made of the labels you give yourself and allow others to give you.

To shift your identity you have to relabel yourself and 100% believe in your new labels.  These new labels are the new you and are part of your new self-fulfilling prophecy. To become the new person you need to start living the new story.

Three years ago I was an ‘overweight drinker’, that was one of my old labels. Really nice, isn’t it. You can see the power of this stuff.

As long as I continued drinking I was ‘the unhealthy bloke who liked a glass of wine’. I really did not want to be that. The new me was a leaner machine, the guy who walks 9KM every day, the guy with no anxiety, sleeps like a baby, feels great, loves life, is grateful for everything around him, helps others, is a student of life. Wow I loved my new labels!

The way I achieved this identity shift to successfully change my story was through writing down my old and new labels. Here are some of the items in my lists:

I had to see everything as real: ‘I am sober’; ‘I am a great dad’. This is how I shifted my identity.

My book Walking Back To Happiness The Secret To Alcohol-free Living & Well-being, shows you how I changed my story and found happiness and well-being and how you can to. Packed with over 70 exercises or steps you can take to improve your well-being and happiness, it’s a blueprint of how to live your best life! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nigel-Jones/e/B0B7RP6LH6/

STEPS YOU CAN TAKE…

OLD & NEW IDENTITY

Write down the person you want to become by listing:

• The old traits and values to banish from your identity. For example, ‘I am a drinker’.
• The traits that you want to keep. For example, ‘I am hard working’.
• The new traits and values to build on or add to your identity. For example, ‘I am sober.’
