Curbing self sabotage

Often when you get close to achieving your desires your brain finds a way to make you scared. It will come up with a million "what ifs" & if you're not ready to fight these off, you'll self sabotage your success.

Careers are a perfect example of this. You can spend years being a frustrated artist waiting for your big break. Then, as soon as the break arrives you start telling yourself it's clashing with your other commitments, or you convince yourself you're not good enough. If you don't fight off, or ignore these fears you will believe them & in turn convince yourself to avoid the big break. Leaving you once again feeling 'down' - waiting for the next big break to arrive.

The fear of the unknown can be extremely intense. It's much safer to stay where you are because you can tell yourself you haven't yet 'made it' because the circumstances haven't been right. The scary part is thinking what if I take that break and fall flat on my face - then what do I do???

However, if you can believe that each step is part of the process and even reward yourself for taking each break - regardless of the outcome, you will enjoy the journey and get closer and closer to where you want to be.
