Many of us enjoy improvements in our health and fitness and every area of our lives, or at least the thought of it. Many of us though fear becoming “too successful” and get scared once good things start to happen.
Some of us will “self sabotage” our progress if we start doing too well. If this sounds like madness to you, it’s actually true that i have seen many times over the years.
Many of us, if we start exercising, eating well and start being more positive improve strongly physically and start to improve in all areas of our lives. We have undeniably proof that if you stay consistent with exercise and healthy eating, then great things are possible.
Then the “i don’t deserve it” feelings start to enter our minds. We have done well we tell ourselves, but the true big successes that we CAN achieve we are not worthy of. It also becomes easier to give in to those people who doubt us and write us off.
You can get these feelings when going for promotion for example, you can do the supervisor job well, you may have actually done it several times, but “you” do not deserve it somehow.
You may buy a new car, and feel really uncomfortable when doing it, especially if its a big step up, telling yourself that it’s nice but you somehow are not “worthy” of it.
These feelings are common in changing your health for the better, some of you may have incredible photos and transformations, but you may feel that enough is enough, and you don’t deserve anymore, and to feel and look that amazing somehow, just because it’s too uncomfortable and you may give in who tried to put you off along.
Self-sabotage means you may turn back to over-eating, not exercising, feeling negative again just because the success you have had makes you feel so far out of your comfort zone.
Beware self-sabotage, embrace the success you are having and have had, and realise you totally deserve the great things that have come into your life, and you’re every bit as good as everyone else who has worked as hard as you have, and now it’s time for you to enjoy the rewards.
Everyone experiences doubt and indecision, it’s how you handle those crucial moments that dictate your ultimate destiny. We are actually more powerful than we ever thought and sometimes that’s what scares us most. We are often more scared of the light than the darkness as the old saying goes.
