Have you ever heard yourself say "I want to lose weight, but . . . "
As a psychologist and coach, I am all for creating awareness -- that's a big part of what we do with our clients. The client SHOULD come away from a session with greater awareness.
But awareness alone is not enough. We all have those areas in our lives where we KNOW what we "should" be doing, and yet, we aren't doing it. I call this the knowing - doing gap.
At the core, this gap exists because different parts inside of us want different things. There may be a part that wants to gobble up everything in sight, and another part that wants to be healthy. Part of us wants to work out every day, and part of us wants to be a slug on the couch. It's endless!
But there are probably a few major parts of us that interfere and sabotage our good intentions on a regular basis. And unless these parts are identified and dealt with effectively, they continue to sabotage us. And you will continue to hear self-talk like "but it was going so well . . . "
Because these parts exist just below the surface of our awareness, it can be hard to keep everything going in the right direction. Your behavior can be affected by your mood and energy levels too. If you feel tired and overwhelmed with your life, it's harder to ward off the part of you that feels you should have a reward for all your hard work, and will keep bugging you until you get it.
These parts exist in all of us. How often have you had "mixed feelings" about something? Part of you feels 1 way, and part another? What you don't want is a civil war inside . . .
ANNOUNCING: I'm teaching a new teleclass to help you identify and manage these different parts using imagery. I've found that to be a really effective way to help reduce the struggle inside, so that you aren't constantly fighting with yourself. And it's going to be a lot of fun!
