Could my drinking be a way to soothe my nervousness around people? I notice my fidgeting and a desire for spikes in energy, possibly tied to my interests in coffee and action-packed shows. I fear that changing my behavior might make me more focused, and since I struggle to stay focused in front of people, I worry I'll be alone and left with only my achievements, which might reflect a self-limiting belief.
I've been reflecting on my drinking habits after a night out where I had way too much to drink. I also realized I didn't interact with any girls in a sexy way, which is a strange metric but highlights my focus. I talked about my startup, which indicates where my head was at. I want to stop drinking so much when I let loose, as it's not only unhealthy for my body but also raises deeper concerns about why I drink so much when I go out.
I also have a concern about "losing myself" when I let go—perhaps I need an energy channeling practice to align myself better, like tai chi, as my mom suggested. It's not just about drinking; it's about understanding where my energy should go.
