The Alcohol Free Marriage Podcast

Decision fatigue refers to the decline in our decision-making abilities and self-control as a result of making numerous choices throughout the day. Every decision, no matter how trivial, depletes our cognitive resources.Drink of the week:Spindrift NojitoHoplark TeaOvercoming Decision Fatigue:While decision fatigue can sway our choices, we can implement strategies to mitigate its impact:Prioritize Significant Decisions: Identify the decisions that truly matter and allocate mental energy accordingly. By distinguishing between important and trivial choices, we can conserve cognitive resources for what truly counts.Establish Routines: Implementing consistent routines can reduce decision fatigue. By automating certain aspects of our daily lives, such as meal planning or selecting outfits in advance, we minimize decision-making efforts, freeing up mental energy for more crucial decisions.Take Breaks and Recharge: Regular breaks throughout the day provide an opportunity to recharge and replenish mental energy. Engaging in activities that relax and rejuvenate, such as meditation, exercise, or spending time in nature, can help combat decision fatigue.Plan Ahead: Anticipate moments of weakness and plan strategies to navigate them. If you know that the temptation to have a drink will arise in the evening, find alternative ways to unwind or distract yourself. Prepare healthy substitutes or engage in activities that bring you joy and relaxation.Get Our 5 o'clock somewhere: Alcohol Free EditionGet $5 off your first Go Brewing order!Watch the podcast on YouTube here: Alcohol Free Marriage Podcast VideoOur Website: AFMPodcast.comSchedule your free discovery coaching call with Amy
