Are you holding yourself back? It’s possible!
A lot of us engage in self-sabotaging behaviors without even realizing it. If you want to move forward and achieve success, you have to learn how to break negative patterns and stop holding yourself back.
Let’s talk about some strategies you can use to conquer your fears, break those patterns, and find the success and happiness you deserve.
Identify and Acknowledge Self-Sabotaging Behaviors
The first step to overcoming something is to name it. Overcoming self-sabotaging behaviors is no different.
Set aside some time to reflect on your past behaviors and patterns to understand how they could have hindered your progress. Develop a plan to eliminate habits like procrastination, self-doubt, and negative self-talk.
Challenge Negative Thoughts and Beliefs
The worst part about limiting beliefs? They usually aren’t even true!
Instead of falling into a cycle of negative thoughts and beliefs, question them every time they pop up. Reframe your internal narrative and thought patterns to create a growth mindset that focuses on possibility and not downfalls.
Set Clear and Achievable Goals
I talk a lot about SMART goals and for one big reason: they work! When you break larger goals down into smaller ones, they feel more manageable. This takes away that overwhelming feeling that comes with a lot of big, scary goals and makes them feel more possible.
Celebrating your victories (no matter how small!) is the perfect way to build confidence and momentum to keep moving forward.
Seek Professional Help When Needed
So many of us have been taught to build ourselves up by our bootstraps and be responsible for our own failures and successes. While this can be true in some aspects, there is also no shame in seeking help when you need it.
If you are finding that your self-sabotaging habits are just too deeply ingrained in your psyche to overcome, reach out to learn more about my one-on-one coaching opportunities. I can help you develop the coping mechanisms and strategies to silence those bad habits once and for all.
