Procrastinating on self-care, spending too much time consuming information instead of acting on it, and at times, feeling really disappointed in myself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">It\u2019s a really frustrating experience to recognize when I\u2019m feeling stuck and powerless to change, especially when I have tried just about every form of therapy, and read hundreds of books over the last 3 decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">But over the last couple of years, I have been practicing parts work, specifically polarized parts. An example of this is where I have an ambitious part of me that wants to get stuff done, but also a distractor part that causes me to get overwhelmed and feel paralyzed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">It has been through this parts work that I have been able to resolve this polarization and resistance, to be more productive in the last 12 months than I have in YEARS. I have written a book, been consistent in the gym, my self-care practices, and created a new program that I\u2019ll share with you in a moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">In today\u2019s episode, I invited Cece Sykes to join me on the podcast to do a demonstration of this parts work. Cece has been working with the founder of IFS for the last 20 years and I consider her to be the leading expert on polarization.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">I believe in this work so much, that it\u2019s the foundation of The Inner Compass Program, which opens for enrollment on 2\/16. The focus of the course will be to use parts work to resolve internal resistance so that we can actually take action on the knowledge we have and prioritize our most important goals. If you have been searching for the missing piece, and feeling like you need something more, then I\u2019d like to invite you to join me in this new community. Just visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/innercompassprogram.com\/waitlist\">Innercompassprogram.com\/waitlist<\/a> and you\u2019ll be the first one in line when enrollment opens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">So without further delay, please enjoy this episode, and let me know what you think!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Connect with Cece Sykes Here: https:\/\/www.cecesykeslcsw.com\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>\ud83d\udc4a\ud83c\udffcNeed help applying this information to your own life?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Here are 3 ways to get started:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>\ud83c\udf81Free Guide: 30 Tips for Your First 30 Days &#8211; With a printable PDF checklist<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Grab your copy here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.soberlifeschool.com\">https:\/\/www.soberlifeschool.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>\ud83c\udf81Free Journaling Exercise: How To Get Unstuck, Be Consistent &amp; Reach Your Goals<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Download Here: https:\/\/www.innercompassprogram.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>\u260e\ufe0fPrivate Coaching: Make Sobriety Stick<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.makesobrietystick.com\">https:\/\/www.makesobrietystick.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Subscribe So You Don\u2019t Miss New Episodes!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong><em>Listen to the episode on<\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/the-one-day-at-a-time-recovery-podcast\/id1212504521\"><strong><em> Apple Podcasts<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em>, <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/4I23r7DBTpT8XwUUwHRNpB\"><strong><em>Spotify<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em>, or Amazon Music, or you can stream it from my website <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.odaatchat.com\"><strong><em>HERE<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em>.<\/em> <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@theonedayatatimepodcast?sub_confirmation=1\" title=\"\">You can also watch the interview on YouTube.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/the-one-day-at-a-time-recovery-podcast\/id1212504521\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXc5nvTh2drMgPvrlJo3UoyXMT2PdZO3MVklyrVoG_4CX-SdJdMyNet1A2n9yXJjSXkRd82Pe7fIGNDG-uCTAy1FSxHzS_HcdY85a5u5NlEFs0x2sxRGkn1MBxsyHXasiK-vfxRbNg?key=OVOsFb3XWVb3hQc9GsTdXhsY\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:298px;height:auto\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/the-one-day-at-a-time-recovery-podcast\/id1212504521\"><strong><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/4I23r7DBTpT8XwUUwHRNpB\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXdNU20drrba4w6kmSTc8rljP7XRbiNYMZiA2TqLwNPMdxGtoXkmHTUUcAuMTXYXz0q9EpK1zykRHzUyGiRGWTrsZPBhSFZGcEV6A7RaTzmv4AlNYHvO14daU_0vmPGnWyyPF7XTow?key=OVOsFb3XWVb3hQc9GsTdXhsY\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:298px;height:auto\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/music.amazon.com\/podcasts\/a8eb438c-5af1-493b-99c1-f218e5553aff\/the-one-day-at-a-time-recovery-podcast\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXfrzEmx8lV5ZWlLTuhBvsa6ik0HncTgReFzZ6vPzDDAHI3NbM2nxFIhA6xtxSv0WLljlMYXSbIkExLY_f_ChgbjeUubHcAGMZxwwXf0mMu-7aqAGiFvUSWdi9a9-a6wVVi-1LDYBA?key=OVOsFb3XWVb3hQc9GsTdXhsY\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:301px;height:auto\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/music.amazon.com\/podcasts\/a8eb438c-5af1-493b-99c1-f218e5553aff\/the-one-day-at-a-time-recovery-podcast\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@theonedayatatimepodcast?sub_confirmation=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXc3imB7c-TSV6S_AaDsAzcM321Mm7n-Rc48YyxPhXyIt7-bW1RFKDQxd6pYfExxa_61xyDkXxwWD0qj5n28E9Ok7o2k98tfFTkXORoR7h-0IdFaEBaSKEFjnLMY3xswu-6gUFyBWQ?key=OVOsFb3XWVb3hQc9GsTdXhsY\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:299px;height:auto\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@theonedayatatimepodcast\"><strong><\/strong><\/a><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like so many of us in recovery, I have felt really frustrated at times with my own negative repeating patterns.
