Turning Resentment Into Self-Discovery: A Fresh Perspective

Episode Overview

  • Resentment stems from parts-energy, not self-energy.
  • Recognise the drama triangle roles: victim, hero, villain.
  • Use compassion and curiosity to understand your feelings.
  • Normal drinking is a cultural myth; embrace your truth.
  • Transform resentment into positive self-discovery.
Resentment never comes from self-energy; it comes from parts-energy.
Ever found yourself at a wedding, sipping on sparkling water while everyone else is enjoying their wine, and felt that pang of resentment? You're not alone. In this episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, Lee Davy tackles the burning question: why do some people seem to drink 'normally' while others can't? It's a journey into understanding that resentment is less about others and more about our own perceptions.
Lee, with his signature blend of humour and insight, explores the idea that resentment is rooted in parts of ourselves that feel we're missing out. He encourages listeners to meet these feelings with compassion and curiosity. Through his five-pointed star plan, Lee guides you on how to transform resentment into something more positive, emphasising clarity, compassion, curiosity, choice, and release.
He shares personal anecdotes and examples, like volunteering at his child's sports day, to illustrate how decisions made from 'parts' rather than 'self' can lead to resentment. Lee's approach is all about rising above the line into self-energy, smashing myths about normal drinking, and embracing freedom. So if you've ever felt that jealousy bubble up when others are clinking glasses, this episode offers a fresh perspective.
Why not give it a listen and see how you can turn resentment into a path towards self-discovery and peace?
