The concept of a “higher self” represents our trustiest and most authentic self. It’s believed that this is part of us that transcends the limitations of our physical world and is connected to a divine or universal consciousness. The higher self is often seen as a source of guidance and inspiration, helping us navigate through life and make decisions that are aligned with our true purpose and highest good. I view your higher self as the self that knows exactly what you need and often pushes you towards this way of living. Your higher self is intuitive and if we follow our intuition, we can only live a life of abundance. Many people who give up alcohol or take prolonged breaks or have thought about removing alcohol for a while. I believe that this is their higher self and intuition leading them on a path of health and purpose. Ask yourself, have you thought about not drinking alcohol? Have you thought about how it has not been serving you and something has been off? If you were to follow this guidance, what else might you get clarity on? Sobriety gives you clarity and a healthy life. When you’re clear, you can get nudges from your higher self to grow yourself. Tony Robbins discussed human needs and stated that we need growth and contribution. Alcohol can block intuition and make it difficult to assess your higher self. Therefore, alcohol blocks your full potential. To reach our purpose, get growth, and contribution, we must listen to ourselves on this journey. Once I removed alcohol, I began to think of my purpose on this earth. I heard myself say write books and began to coach others. I feel like I’m growing daily with personal development and have had to work on limiting beliefs. I’m contributing to the alcohol-free movement to help others become sober and find their soul purpose. I’ve written and published two children’s books. Removing alcohol opens doors of possibilities.
Our higher self will guide us if we listen. Once we continue to follow the guidance, alcohol becomes less and less significant in our lives. We begin to learn about our true self when we remove alcohol. This is where we have to address our emotional state, limiting beliefs, people pleasing, boundaries, and mindset. This can feel heavy for many, and this can fool you into thinking alcohol helps. Your authentic self, your highest self knows exactly what you need. That’s why surrounding yourself with sober communities and support is instrumental in your sober journey. Invest in yourself and trust the process. Removing alcohol is only the beginning to finding your soul’s purpose. Start to ask your higher self what your purpose is. Just be open to guidance, trust yourself, and get help as needed.
