It’s Monday, and it’s time to grab your motivation to kick off this week—so here are a few thoughts I have.
Unmasking Self-Sabotage 🧠
Ever wonder why success sometimes feels fleeting? Like you’re on a roll—landing clients, growing your business, and suddenly, everything comes crashing down?
💡 It’s not about discipline or effort—it’s about survival.
Your subconscious isn’t wired for success, it’s wired for safety. And for many of us, safety means staying in the familiar—even if that means staying stuck. This creates an internal war: one side of you craves growth, while the other side pulls you back, clinging to the status quo. This isn’t just a random pattern; it's a deeply rooted defence mechanism designed to protect you from change, which it perceives as a threat.
The truth is, self-sabotage stems from hidden fears—sometimes buried trauma—that you haven’t fully faced. Every time you push forward and experience progress, these unresolved fears flare up, saying, “Whoa, this is too much too fast—let’s go back to where we’re safe!”
🚨 The result? You start to undermine your own growth. Whether it’s procrastination, distraction, or doubt, something always seems to get in the way.
But here's the kicker: self-sabotage isn't failure—it's a signal. It's telling you there's a part of you that feels unsafe or unworthy of success, and unless you acknowledge it, you'll keep falling into the same cycle.
Here’s a simple way to begin breaking the cycle: Next time you feel the pull to slow down or self-destruct, pause. Ask yourself, What am I really afraid of? What’s the worst that could happen if I let myself succeed?
🧠 🗝️ The biggest understanding is that in order for you to become the next version of you, the older version, the version of you right now.. has to "die". And the self sabotage often comes from them... the fear, the procrastination, the self doubt etc.. It's them holding on as they want you to be safe in the now.
Once you understand and know how to solve this - the whole world opens for you!
