Are you self-sabotaging?

Are you your own worst enemy? Does your inner voice tell you that you aren’t good enough, you don’t deserve to feel happy? Then perhaps you need to consider why you subject yourself to these self-sabotaging thoughts.

I met a beautiful young girl several months back, let’s call her Sam. Sam is gorgeous both on the inside and the outside. She has a warmth about her that would light up a room, great sense of humour and is liked by most people she meets. Everyone loves Sam, except Sam.

When Sam was given a compliment she would not take it well “You look beautiful today Sam”, “No I don’t, take a look at my skin right now, I’ve broken out”.

“Sam your hair looks nice like that”. “Thank you but I think it makes my head look big”.

Sound familiar? Whilst everyone else thinks Sam is amazing, Sam doesn’t believe she is. But why?

Self-sabotaging behaviour often stems from low self-esteem and a lack of self-worth. We start to believe we are inadequate and our confidence levels drop or banish altogether.

Become empowered!

We will be sitting down with a leading talk therapist in the coming weeks to discuss self-sabotage in more detail and how to overcome it but for now let’s work on becoming empowered. When those negative thoughts appear, banish them! Approach situations with confidence, know that you are worthy, not perfect by worthy and as an absolute equal to everyone around you. Try to remember that success is not black and white and is measured in many different ways. Don’t have any pre conceived ideas on what success should look like, expectations will set you up for failure. Be kind to yourself always.

Look out for our video blog on self sabotage in the coming weeks.
