Self Sabotaging Beliefs
It's not easy to make the case that even if we are self sabotaging we might be doing so with positive intent. Meaning that sometimes your brain is trying to protect itself from succeeding and putting yourself in a position of needing to continue to do so.
It sounds outrageous to say it sometimes, but many of us actually fear success, and it's a way that we ultimately try to protect ourselves from what we perceive could be an even bigger failure, a bigger disappointment.
As much as it might be productive to attempt to think about all those times we have self sabotaged ourselves, it might be more effective to start recognizing today the negative behaviors and maybe change some core beliefs we might hold.
Believing that money is evil for example, or believing that the game is rigged against you because you hold no position of power, is in many circumstances disguised ideas of self sabotage. These thoughts become a way to excuse inaction, a way to ignore the fact that we are not powerless, but the opposite, we own our truth.
We can all benefit from interrupting those old patterns, and questioning some of these ideas and maybe letting go of this fear and the beliefs that keep it alive.
Hope everyone had a beautiful weekend
good writing~
Exactly. I like the length of the post. It's not too long and not too short. :)
Keep it up!
Success is the journey so to speak. It's the 'climb'. If there's no resistance at all, we wouldn't have to call it a success. I think that's what's scary. - Having to endure the pain of success.
i m new help me 😊
:) This is a very well-written comment. So much so that it looks like it's a compilation from those quote sites. I don't intend to say that you plagiarized it, but that it's a pretty good word selection.
What I didn't understand was your formatting on it, lol. > is for quotes and * is for enumerations, but you used them to stylize. There are other style tools such as <strong> and <em>. There's even # and ##; you could make some part bigger. I've seen some who do this and it's not that bad :) Definitely better than semantic misuse.
Self sabotage to me is quite destructive, that's why we need to figure out how we deal with negative thinking. I usually meditate and keep busying myself to prevent self sabotage and negative thinking.
okay you need to know that self-sabotage is a form of self protection, from what you may ask? from the unknown it keeps you safe to do the same things over and over, the only way to beat it is to smile and say convincingly out loud i can do this or even better say i've done this before and imagine doing it simple right? :)
Enough with the sappy self sabotage b.s. Fuck so called success, it's underrated
Great thoughts in this article.
Many self sabotage without knowing it!
Many people are afraid of success and do not realize that they have the qualities to achieve it. Fears come from the uncertain, wondering if they will fail in the eyes of their loved ones and before them.
LOL. This is the ultimate money meme. Close the vaults.
Nice post!
Well said @chbartist....
Our notion and perception really has a strong effect on how things will be for us
I believe in positivity and optimism....they are the instrument of success and self satisfaction. Believing strongly in one self is sure a good start to a good finish
Following you @chbartist. Another great topic!
Today, I posted a blog about being 100% responsible for your life, I think, to avoid self-sabotage has a lot to do with that responsibility factor. I will share it here-- https://steemit.com/blog/@tressareid/you-are-100-responsible-for-your-life-try-this-exercise
Thank you! All the best!
