The Alcohol ReThink Podcast with Patrick Fox 242. Why You Don’t Trust Yourself (And How To Rebuild It)
Have you ever said you were going to stop drinking for a bit… and then didn’t?
Or told yourself you’d start exercising, wake up earlier, eat better, or finally follow through on something that matters to you?
And when it doesn’t happen, something subtle but powerful takes a hit.
Your trust in yourself.
In episode 242 of The Alcohol ReThink Podcast, Patrick explores why so many of us struggle with self-confidence and why the real issue often isn’t discipline, motivation or willpower… it’s self-trust.
Whether you’re trying to stop drinking, change habits, improve your mindset or simply become a man who follows through on what he says, confidence plays a huge role in making lasting change.
Patrick breaks down the difference between confidence and self-confidence, the three places we tend to doubt ourselves (capability, value and identity), and how small broken promises slowly erode our belief in ourselves over time.
He also shares a powerful insight from his recent Disrupt group coaching call:
“Little defeats bring you down. Small wins rise you up.”
You’ll learn why confidence isn’t something you’re born with, but something you build through experience, repetition and keeping the promises you make to yourself.
If you’ve ever wondered why change can feel difficult, why motivation comes and goes, or why you sometimes doubt your ability to follow through, this episode will help you understand what’s really going on and how to start rebuilding trust in yourself.
In this episode you’ll explore:
• The difference between confidence and self-confidence
• The three places we doubt ourselves: capability, value and identity
• How broken promises slowly erode self-trust
• Why small wins are the real foundation of confidence
• Practical ways to build confidence and trust yourself again
This episode is especially helpful for men who are rethinking alcohol, changing habits, building confidence, or working on personal development and mindset.
