When doing thought work it is essential to be calm before trying to be aware and shift thinking.
It comes down to these two fears
"Your purpose in life is not the job you do - it’s who you are. Who you get to be."-B. Castillo
Screw It!
When I ask my clients to report back the thoughts they had prior to overeating, over drinking, not keeping a promise to themselves, or setting appropriate boundaries the top 3 that appear most often were: ‘Screw it’, ‘I deserve it’, 'It doesn’t matter.’
People Pleasers are Liars!
What has been transformational for me to understand is that people pleasing is about trying to control what someone else thinks about us. This works 0% of the time!
