What do you do when one part of you wants to do one thing, while another

Do you wish you could do something you currently can't?
Do you feel an inner "tug of war" over some things?
Do you hear yourself saying, "I can't.", or "I wish I had the willpower to do
that"?
Do you feel stuck in some part of your life you wish you could get on with?
These are often signs of inner conflict - when a part of you wants one thing,
but another part wants something else. For example:
I want to be thinner, but I also want to eat what I want!"
I need to get these things done, but I also need time for -x-."
I wish I could react more calmly, but it makes me so angry!"
I wish -x-, but I also want -y-."
You fill in the blanks. In what ways do you feel conflicted? Wouldn't it be nice
to end the suffering caused by that "inner battle"?
By participating in this experiential class, you'll find out how to reach a
satisfying and comfortable resolution to your inner conflicts. You'll learn how
to more easily and spontaneously act in ways that fit with who you want to be as
a person, honoring all parts of yourself, without any need for will power or
