You don’t self sabotage because you’re weak, not disciplined enough, or a “failure.”

You self sabotage because something in the goal you are working towards is being perceived as a threat to your physical, mental, or emotional safety.

Rather than try harder, do this instead:

Most people actually have more than enough discipline to achieve their goals, they just aren’t applying it in the right way.

We’ve been told that if we procrastinate or avoid taking action the only way to get where we want to go is to try harder & do it anyways...

But that doesn’t work (& you know that too...)

Here’s why...

Every time you take action despite the procrastination, perfectionism, and avoidance coming up you aren’t “fixing” the situation... you are actually AVOIDING the problem at hand.

That’s because procrastination, perfectionism & more don’t magically disappear if you discipline yourself once, twice, or even 1000 times.

Unless you get rid of the thing that’s causing those patterns you are going to need discipline every single time if you ever want to accomplish anything.

Although most of us have enough discipline... we don’t have an unlimited amount of it.

In this episode, we'll discuss the all or nothing mindset and how it involved our recent trip to Mexico, why you're actually self-sabotaging, and why asking yourself the right questions is key.
