It’s that time of year when people in our modern society destroy themselves and their innate human potential because it’s the “holidays.” So why not, right? Every holiday or holiday season, it’s the same: drinking alcohol and eating junk food as a way to relax and unwind after twelve months of working a job you don’t like. It’s a season full of self-sabotage. Furthermore, healthy habits, healthy lifestyles, and anything down the path of good health get thrown down the drain. Alcohol, binge eating, junk food, sugar, and ‘treats’ become the norm.

The programming for this time of year is so obvious throughout movies, TV shows, mainstream media, and radio. From Christmas movies and TV shows to the mainstream media sharing rubbish news stories and writing garbage articles, all of it programs you to believe that this is what you do during the season. Given the way the subconscious mind works, it just wants to keep you safe. It’s the part of the brain that loves you and wants you to fit in. Of course, you are going to be more inclined to destroy yourself during the holiday season because (A) everyone else is doing it and (B) you have no conscious awareness of why you’re doing it, all in the name of a ‘good time.’ To reiterate, you can still enjoy this time of year and your holiday festive season without destroying yourself. Furthermore, why wait until the New Year to start being your best? Start now.


This time of year, for me, was when my self-sabotage kicked into overdrive. I binged on junk food and overate at Christmas lunch, feeling sluggish. After most Christmas lunches, I had to go have a nap. I binged on alcohol as well. I used to start drinking between 9 and 10 AM on Christmas morning. Why? Because of my family programming. The subconscious counts repetition, which means you will act this out. I acted this programming out for a long time because it was deemed familiar and safe inside my psyche. This is what my family would do every year, so for me to fit in, blend in, and go along to get along, I just drank up. Why not, right?


The period between Christmas and New Year was when I rested up and looked after myself before my biggest binge, which would be to bring in the New Year. I was in this cycle for a very long time until I was able to break free.


We live in an upside-down world. People who don’t drink are always the ones who have to justify and defend their reasons for not drinking, while those who do drink just carry on and often don’t have to say a word about why they do. Crazy, right?


You can turn your back on all this societal programming around alcohol and junk food during this time of year. You can step out, be unique, and be different. You don’t have to destroy yourself and your innate human potential just because everyone else is doing it and it’s considered ‘normal.’ You can drink water, eat healthy food, and still have fun. It’s not boring, despite what’s portrayed on your screen. It’s just a matter of changing your programming and perception. Stand up, be bold, be brave, and be courageous.


Work with me in 2025, and I can help you transform into Superman or Superwoman. The programming they use through your screens programs you to destroy yourself without your conscious awareness. I have the same information and techniques to lead you up the ladder of success in your own life. It can be so quick and so simple.
