Ep #156 - Your influence spans well beyond just the immediate people you interact with on any given day. Your choices to wake up sober or hungover can impact the lives of people 3, 4, 5, 6, etc. circles beyond you. This Impact Tree won't necessarily be a motivator to use or not use - if that were the case then we'd all have stopped after someone cried for our health and safety as addicts.
What this episode discusses is how you can take the internal thought of how your addiction effects people and how you can externalize that by making a sort of mind-map out of your impact tree.
Below I am putting the notes I made up for the show so you can see possible impact scenarios that I wrote out. The key to creating your own Impact Tree is to remember you are not seeking the PROBABILITY that an impact will occur - rather it is the POSSIBILITY that the impact event can occur from your initial event of waking up sober or hungover/drunk.
Covid example:
initial event: covid
first order: people get sick
second order: places shut down
third order: things dont get made
fourth order: shelves empty
fifth order: people panic
sixth order: run on stores - 4th order repeats
LOOP established
YOU
initial event: sober
1: wake up sober
2: in a good/decent/better mood than waking up hungover
3: nicer to people
4: everyone starts day off in a better place
5: go to work and are nicer
6: those you touch/effect have pleasant experiences
7: they go off and pay it forward
8: your impact tree grow exponentially
9: go home in good/decent/better mood than spending the whole day hungover
10: good dinner/meal/time together
11: the loop is established
YOU
initial event: drunk
1: wake up hungover
2: not nice to people
3: they are mean to you
4a: you are meaner back
4b: they leave the house and are in bad mood
5a: huge arguments ensue
5b: mean to co-workers
6a: both in bad mood
6b: co-workers in bad mood
7: everyone has bad day
8: arguments ensue
9: go home pissed off
10: drink and or argue
11: THE LOOP is established
It is time. It has been time. To live is to shine. Step into the SUN.
Just hit play and let's dive in with our open minds, hearts, and energies bringing everyone into the fold - you are in the right place, at the right time...right now.
Stand up, step forward, raise your hand - it's your turn, I will call on you.
