Why You Don't Have Peace


Listen Later

If you’re struggling to make progress toward results and outcomes you really are committed to achieving, I invite you to consider this question:

“Am I at peace with BLANK?”

For example - “Am I at peace with:

  • … my body and/or weight?”
  • … my food and/or drink?”
  • … my relationships?”
  • … my career or job?”
  • … my parenting or children?”
  • … my finances?”
  • … something else?”
  • If you answer NO, it’s likely because “part of you” isn’t cooperating with your most authentic self. 

    In her best-selling book, Rezoom: The Powerful Reframe To End The Crash-And-Burn Cycle of Food Addiction, author and teacher Susan Pierce Thompson, highlights “Parts Work”:

    “... it’s necessary to recognize and address the parts of ourselves that have led us to our old ways… in Parts Work, we learn which parts are directing our thinking and behavior so we can recognize them when they’re taking over… “

    Thompson categories the parts as:

    • Indulger
  • Controller
  • Rebel
  • Caretaker
  • Isolator
  • Inner Critic
  • If this interests you, I invite you to learn about these parts and how they may be sabotaging your best efforts to make progress:
