10 ways to stop self-sabotaging behaviors that cost you time, money, and happiness
As entrepreneurs, we have huge goals but often sabotage ourselves in a variety of ways, like self-doubt, not accepting mistakes, and procrastinating. Self-sabotage habits aren't easy to avoid, but they're essential to growing up healthy. At the same time, several of these habits are hard to see in yourself.
The good news? It's possible for you to change your behavior. This article will teach you how to identify and stop self-defeating patterns.Sabotage refers to deliberately damaging, blocking, or impairing something to prevent it from working as it should. For example, although we rarely intentionally block ourselves from getting what we want, we may still do or say things to impede our own progress. In the eyes of others, though, it might even appear intentional.
It's unconscious self-sabotage when you do something that undermines a value or goal but you don't realize it until afterward. For example, people with a high fear of failure in their jobs often show up late or perform sloppy work to avoid promotions or increased responsibility, which would result in higher expectations and therefore increased failure risk.
A perfectionist might also believe that everything or nothing is possible. So, before they even get started, they tend to talk themselves out of potential opportunities.A chronic worry habit gives people a false sense of control and guarantees them a certain future, Wignall said. In times of helplessness or uncertainty, worrying briefly makes you feel like you can take action. Unfortunately, the long-term effects are never positive, and anxiety levels rise as a result.
It's also possible to"overdo it" in more subtle ways, such as staying up all night watching TV or working out until you exhaust yourself. It's common for overcommitting to mask an underlying fear of failure under the appearance of a strong drive to succeed.Consistently being late is often a sign of self-sabotage. The later you show up to social events, the less anxious you'll feel about interacting with people too much before the event begins.
Trying to accomplish more by neglecting your personal needs is shortsighted. It's a sign of self-sabotage.Despite knowing you need help on a project, you fail to reach out for assistance. Even though you're running late, you decide not to text.
