Stop Self-Sabotaging

Have you noticed that you tend to self-sabotage when you’re working towards something? Is it something you’d like to finally put an end to?

Great! I’m here to help guide you to a place where you can stop doing that.

Self-sabotage is your minds subconscious way to protect you. So, with that being said, if you know all the tips and tricks to lose weight, you’re doing your exercises and following your routines why are you seeing minimal results? The answer could be a subconscious reaction. And that’s where things get a little tricky.  It sounds wild and far-fetched that I’m saying your biggest point of struggle to overcome is a subconscious reaction, but if you think about it, it makes sense. It’s nothing more than a defense mechanism designed to keep things in your life constant and stop them from changing.

The problem is, if you have a goal to lose weight feel amazing and eat healthy, your subconscious is there behind the scenes pulling on all the right strings to keep those goals just out of reach. We have to train our subconscious into believing the change is a good thing.

This starts with a little self-reflection exercise. We need to figure out why your subconscious thinks it’s safer for you to be unhealthy.

So, let's give it a shot here.

Is Change A Bad Thing?

Most people fear the unknown, and you may be one of those people. That may be the actual reason that you aren’t reaching your goal. Sometimes being comfortable with where you are could be the reason that your subconscious is sabotaging all of your hard work.

Do You Think Success Will Bring Loss?

If you feel that you would receive resentment or jealousy from your friends and family once you finally hit that weight loss goal, that could be a large part of the reason for your self-sabotage. Nobody likes feeling alienated or uncomfortable when around friends and family. If you feel like those close to you are expecting you to fail, then that will have a subconscious reaction associated with it.

Do You Believe You Actually Deserve It?

If you’ve ever been in the situation where you thought someone close to you wouldn’t accept you if you succeeded in your goals, that could also be a large part of your self-sabotage.

Take some time to truly think through these questions, and identify the ones that feel appropriate to your situation. Then take the time to prime your mind to overcome those thoughts.

It’s been said time and time again by hundreds of people. What your mind believes; you will achieve.

You can control those self-sabotaging actions with a little bit of work.
