I’m intrigued by what makes people attain great results. Why is it that sometimes we succeed and fail in our efforts? ?
Why we self-sabotage. Whether that’s not believing in ourselves. Procrastinating. Or giving up too soon just as we were about to make a breakthrough.
At a recent event, I spoke about how fear can keep us stuck. How it can prevent change and success. I distilled it into 4 fears, which are based on the DISC personality profile: ?
1. Fear of failure
2. Fear of rejection
3. Fear of insecurity
4. Fear of conflict
Fear’s positive intention is to keep us safe. However, what it does do is keep us exactly where we are.
So What’s The Solution?
1. To have an awareness of how you are self-sabotaging your goals.
2. To challenge any limiting beliefs.
3. To be the captain of your thoughts: stop those that you don’t want (actually say STOP) or reframe them.
4. To break down large goals into bite-size tasks. This makes it less scary.
5. Take action and do the first task. Get off the starting blocks.
Wishing you all the very best.
