How to Take the Best Self Challenge
I have been looking today to identify my best self and my toxic self. This comes from an episode of Dr. Phil yesterday. It strikes me as a different way of doing Step 4: "Made a searching and fearless inventory of ourselves."
Life Coach Mike Bayer was on the show. He told two mom/sisters, "When you're your best self, you're being your authentic self, so our best authentic self. The anti-self is the characteristics that we think get in the way of being our best self." (https://www.drphil.com/videos/life-coach-mike-bayer-explains-how-your-best-self-and-anti-self-affect-your-daily-life/)
In other words, what are the messages you tell yourself about you? He had them list their authentic selves, draw a picture of what that might look like, then give it a name. Then they did the same for their toxic selves. Watch the video.
Bayer wrote a book called, Best Self: Be You Only Better. (https://www.coachmikebayer.com/book) It isn't about how to stay away from abusing alcohol, but it provides good stuff that can replace an addiction. Try the challenge below. Share the results with loved ones and your sponsor to see what kind of dialogue can result.
