How can I navigate my concerns about cutting back on drinking and potentially becoming a homebody while working on my drinking habits, as discussed in the episodes The Full Story of Naval Ravikant | The Angel Philosopher and Overcoming Alcohol Habits?
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 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.
