Overcoming Fear: Stop Self-Sabotage and Embrace Success

Fear is an indicator of where you are getting ready to self-sabotage.

Who hasn't felt the thrill of starting something new, whether it's a new job, a new relationship, or something else, only to suddenly second-guess yourself? Your heart races, your stomach tightens, and your thoughts start shouting warnings. Your instinct is to run away as fast as you can. Fear takes over.

What is that fear? Fear is often rooted in a limiting belief we hold because of past hurts, rejections, guilt, etc. We never want to experience that again, so now you would rather let go of your greatest desire and dream.

Remember, you are no longer the same person you were before. You have learned and grown. You are stronger within yourself – or are you? This situation is not the same as before, with different circumstances and people. The variables have changed, you have changed, and there is no reason why the outcome cannot be different.

Your logic tells you it can be better, but your programming says NO.

The next time you feel afraid, pay attention to your thoughts. Ask yourself what belief you are holding onto. What do you hope to achieve by avoiding this opportunity? Take the time to listen to yourself and become aware of any self-sabotage that may occur.

It's just a belief fueled by negative emotions and predicting danger. If there's no possibility of loss of life or limb, you owe it to yourself to explore the potential for success.
