Hey babes, how you doing?
I’ve got a question for you…Are you self sabotaging?
I’ll be honest before Easter I was on a bit of a self sabotage, I knew it was happening but couldn’t stop it. Well more to the point, and more accurately I didn’t want to stop it.
I am prepping for a couple of photoshoots which are incredibly out my comfort zone and as real progress was starting to be made, I thought it would be an appropriate time to call in my good friend (the one that never invites themselves but sticks around) SELF SABOTAGE.
It got me thinking why is it when we start to turn a real corner in our journey, we self sabotage?
Why is it that we become so scared to grow, so scared to evolve and reach new levels? We let past experiences, conversations with friends, family and colleagues, things we absorb through social media, through television, things we BELIEVE about ourselves and our own potential dictate our progress.
We as humans limit ourselves based on what we think and what other people say to us. We think so much is impossible until it happens. What is the worst thing that could happen? You don’t get the results you want straight away? No worries, what a great lesson! Start to think differently about YOUR world.
The word “impossible” quite literally tells us that isn’t true – rewire and see I’M POSSIBLE.
Just like that the perspective has been changed. It’s time for us to alter our conditioning and reach new levels for ourselves.
Yes the past has led us to this point but it certainly does not dictate the future.
Did you know that when an animal is held in captivity, they will grow to the size of their habitat not to outgrow their own home. In the wild a lot of these animals can grow to be 10-20% bigger if not more.
Looking at this example are we metaphorically restricting ourselves by our own environment?
Are the people around you serving you in the best way? Are you letting fear and limiting beliefs close the enclosure around you? Or perhaps you are letting comments you’ve heard growing up stick with you about what success and happiness can and should look like preventing you from taking action?
We self sabotage because our brain revisits past experiences that hold us back. Whether that’s consciously or unconsciously, however babes since that last time you have grown, evolved and you are ready to take on more.
The past doesn’t dictate your future, you are in full control and remember…

Catch up soon babes and remember, JUST GO FOR IT.
