    When things are going well, we tend to look for ways to mess them up. From your career, to your health goals and relationships. I'm currently on a journey of learning how to stop self sabotaging and buying into fear. Let's talk about what is self sabotage, why we do it, and how to stop self sabotage.

    12:19 sometimes the self-sabotage is because you are scared that something may be too good to be true like you said, but it could also be that you don't really want what you are working towards anymore. Either because it's not big enough (i.e. it actually doesn't scare you enough) or you are just a new person. New level, new devils applies to dreams/goals too.

    Journaling has helped me make sense of so many of my intrusive thoughts. Whenever one comes in I remind myself that thoughts are just thoughts, I have the power to validate or invalidate them. It’s my choice what to believe and how to act. Limiting beliefs are meant to keep us stagnant, which is why I think it’s also important to keep your bigger picture goal in mind. Reassess - will giving in to this thought get me to where I want to be? Would I say this to anyone else? And then I usually feel better because it serves as a reminder that I’m the one in control.

    It’s crazy how this happens. When things are going amazing, sometimes I find I’m forcing myself to not be happy, waiting for the shoe to drop because things are too good to be true.
    But for me it’s about letting go of control and to allow myself to be uncomfortable to get where I want to be. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

    Super extra, but… I got fired from my job a couple hours ago & as soon as I got home I kept feeling like I needed someone to get encouraging words from & to see your uploads. This video being posted mere minutes ago wasn’t a coincidence… and like you said, the universe is on our sides. This is the second time I’ve been fired right before my birthday and it feels like spirit calling me to stop selling myself short… so I’m gonna finally listen.

I liked how you said that you feel a spirit is calling you and honestly I’ve been feeling that way for some time now and it has somewhat given me a sense of peace that I will eventually find something better. Even if I end up losing my job I have to also remind myself that everything happens for a reason.

    It is so easy to be a victim of self-sabotaging thoughts. It can be difficult to believe in your worth when you are putting yourself down, feel like an imposter, don't set boundaries, and make sacrifices only for others and never for yourself. When we let go of what is holding us back from living authentically and take back our thoughts, then we can be free and live #fearless. Thanks for this video!

    It happens to me whenever i start to dress more elegant, i noticed that a part of my brain literally says to me: Who do you think you are to improve? And i feel voices in my head of people that when i was younger bullied me or tried to let me down whenever something good happened to me related to my external appearence. I observe this and try to journal to understand what's going on.

    😵 I literally experienced your exact example this morning… I sat down to journal and meditate and as soon as it came time to meditate my brain started saying, “well that’s an extra 15-20 minutes of productivity that you’re losing out on. You could just jump into work and get started right away”. I ended up being able to push through it and had the best meditation in a while! So crazy though that our mind does this!! Tries to convince us not to do what I actually really wanted to do this morning and looked forward to doing but my brain had other motives 😂 love this video topic!! ♥️
