Did you know that stepping away from your smartphone can help you lead a more peaceful and fulfilling life? These days the devices in our pockets make us constantly connected, always available, overstimulated and interrupted by pings, reminders and vibrations. Our phones have increased the pace, efficiency and convenience of our lives, but studies show they’ve also increased our anxiety, depression, and loneliness.I remember the days before smartphones as a slower and more peaceful time in my life. But I love my phone and it’s the tool I use more than any other.It’s my credit card, address book, alarm clock, meditation app, sleep sounds, encyclopedia, map and dictionary. How did I navigate life without it?I asked Jennie Ketchum-Crooks, an anxiety and OCD specialist, to help me dive deep into the mental health impacts of digital overconsumption and how a digital detox can help us combat anxiety and foster healthier, more meaningful lives.4 Ways I Can Support You In Drinking Less + Living MoreJoin The Sobriety Starter Kit, the only sober coaching course designed specifically for busy women.

If you're not feeling 100% happy in your life, you might be surprised as to the reasons why. It turns out the "science of happiness" has found that a lot of the things we've been told will make us happy, don't actually bring us joy, contentment and satisfaction.And if you're a woman in midlife you might suspect that's true. We've been taught that if we accomplish and achieve the things on the external "measures of success", then we'll be happy.It might be climbing the corporate ladder, making a certain amount of money, getting married, having kids, buying the house, going on fancy vacations, eating and drinking at nice restaurants or dive bars with your girlfriends or partner, opening a bottle of wine to "relax" and "celebrate", having a perfect and aspirational Instagram feed (or insert your "thing that will make me happy when I finally achieve it" here).What if you're doing all that, you have all the blessings, and you feel overwhelmed, stressed out, dissatisfied, lonely, irritated, resentful or bored?I've asked Dr. Laurie Santos, a Professor of Psychology at Yale University, host of The Happiness Lab podcast and expert on the science of happiness to help us learn practical strategies to cultivate genuine happiness.4 Ways I Can Support You In Drinking Less + Living MoreJoin The Sobriety Starter Kit, the only sober coaching course designed specifically for busy women.

Is your home set up to support your sobriety or sabotage your efforts to lead an alcohol-free life?If you’re used to opening a bottle of wine the minute you walk in the door, having a cocktail on the back deck or curling up on the couch with your laptop or netflix after the kids go to bed, your home environment can be a powerful trigger to drink. But it doesn’t have to be that way. The way you live and design your environment can make it harder or easier to be alcohol-free. And especially in early sobriety you need to build a sober bubble. When I quit drinking, in order to build my sober bubble I needed to remove all the wine from my house.I also needed to create a sober sanctuary where I could retreat to after dinner. A place to support a new evening routine that didn’t include drinking on my couch after the kids went to bed. So I spent some time making my bedroom a place that sparked joy and supported peace and calm in the evenings.I created a space that supported my new alcohol-free lifestyle. One in which I took care of my body and myself. Simple changes can reduce cravings to drink and create a nurturing space for self care and sobriety.I asked Caroline Thor, a KonMari® Consultant and the host of the Living Clutter Free Forever podcast, to share how you can create a home that supports your ideal alcohol-free lifestyle.3 Ways I Can Support You In Drinking Less + Living MoreJoin The Sobriety Starter Kit, the only sober coaching course designed specifically for busy women.
