I find that when I want to change a habit, starting small and realistic works best if I want to succeed. One of the key principles of yoga is satya or truthfulness. If we strive to notice these habitual behaviours, we can begin to make choices that serve us well. Instead, can you pause and ask yourself, do I need this? Do I even want this? Because sometimes it can become a habit that isn’t actually supporting what we want in life. Whether this is our walk to work – getting from A to B without remembering the details – or simply reaching for that evening glass of wine without even thinking about it. So many of us switch on to autopilot for many aspects of our lives. If your intention is to reduce your intake, can you set a goal rather than simply saying you will “drink less”? This will allow you to keep track and stick to your goal. Planĭecide what mindful drinking means to you – whether it’s reducing your intake, replacing your usual drinks for lighter options or going sober. I share some of my top tips below to help you on your way. This 100% doesn’t mean you have to go sober, it can mean different things for different people.
Instead of only committing to Dry January, can you commit to a year of mindful drinking instead. Mindfulness involves cultivating a present moment of awareness that has no judgment and it can occur in every aspect of our lives.Īs January is upon us, I am sure many people will be thinking of creating positive changes to start the year and one that always gets a lot of press is “Dry January”.
