It's 5-o-clock somewhere! What are you doing? Rushing home to get food on the table? Heading to the gym to get a quick workout in? Or are you heading to happy hour, a networking event or business after hours?
Confession time! I hate going to social events when I don't know a soul! Truth! It really gives me anxiety and on top of that I have to go beyond my comfort zone and use my 'lady coconuts' to muster up the confidence to go talk to someone! That can make most people slip into the bathroom, call a cab and bolt out to something a little more ....well comfortable (which I've maybe done..... maybe ;) )
On top of not knowing anyone, may you decide a drink will calm your nerves.
Maybe you start thinking about what you should drink. Do you want the wine, the beer or the martini? And that leads into a whole sidebar conversation with yourself about how many calories you're consuming and how you'll have to hit the gym extra hard the next day etc... All these thoughts and feelings of guilt and shame start to bubble to the surface BEFORE you've even had a chance to get a drink or socialize!
Sometimes these feelings mixed with the situation can lead to overindulgence in the food and alcohol department and then whaddaya know.... next morning and days' schedule is SHOT!
Well, if that sounds like you - you'll love today's ETV! episode! We've got Leah Complanis, CEO of her health and SOCIALenjoyments, a brand new sparkling rice sake drink with hibiscus and cucumber that is 88 calories, gluten free, organic, non-GMO and absolutely delicious and 1 gram of sugar. Need I say more?
Leah is dishing 3 fabulous tips on how to be #social (while drinking SOCIALenjoyments of course) and empowered in ANY situation! She also shares how she overcame a cancer scare at the early age of 26 and took her health back into her own hands!
Let's face it - the real reason most of us go out is not to get drunk or sloshed - it's to create connection! And sometimes creating connection takes vulnerability and reaching out to others!
So, say goodbye to hangovers and hello to feeling light, bubbly and happy!
