Overcoming Self-Sabatoge

Self sabotage means having a goal and standing in your own way. This can happen to people from all walks of life. The good news is that you create your own self sabotage, which means you have the power to uncreate it. Coaching programs empowers you with tools for success.


Self-sabotage protects your from:


  1. Fear of having greater responsibility.
  2. Fear of being away from family and people you love.
  3. Lose something you will enjoy. (ice cream)
  4. Fear of connection/ fear of abandonment.


Fear is normal; does not need to hold you back. Follow your butterflies.


How to get rid of internal conflicts? Raise your upper limit.


2 parts of the brain: subconscious and the conscious.


Subconscious - for habitual behaviours, breathe, speak, eat.
Conscious- to create goals.


Even with great parents- we pick up subtle cues. Sometimes subconscious beliefs that are in conflict with conscious goals will sabotage our intended goals.


Book recommendation: The Big Leap, by Gay Hendricks.


Analogy: Inner thermostat. If you have an inner setting for a limited threshold, when you go above, you begin to feel uncomfortable and ruin it for yourself to be comfortable. Teach your subconscious to raise the thermostat.


Sometimes an inner conflict will result in a physical illness or injury. (Mono, cold sore, sprained ankle.)


Greatest roadblock- you don't deserve it. Being afraid of being better than someone you love. When you shine you give others permission to do the same. Breaking free from my old beliefs gives others permission to break free from theirs.


Roadmapping: Before you enter the challenging situation, prepare for the impulse to self-sabotage, mentally give yourself permission to succeed and create a plan for success.


The mind can be our biggest enemy, but the mind can also be our biggest ally.
