Smell >> aroma – what am I noticing here?
Small Sip >> flavour / mouthfeel. What am I noticing?
Swallow >> is there an after taste?

Bigger Sip >> flavour / mouthfeel. what am I noticing?

Your Future Self Exercise
Pretend it’s January 2024.
We’ve waved a magic wand and you have the exact relationship with alcohol that you’ve dreamed of.
What is that like?
What are you noticing?
How are you feeling?
How often are you drinking?
Get really specific –
What exactly are you noticing when you get up in the morning?
What are you noticing when you go to bed at night?
What do you want to call your new self? Future Me? Intentional Booze Hound?
EXERCISE: Set a timer for 5 minutes and free write using the prompts above to get you started.
“You become what you think about most of the time”.
