Questions to Ask Yourself
If you think you self-sabotage, ask yourself:
- Is your behavior aligning with your goals?
- If not, what is stopping you from taking action to make your dreams come true?
- Do you feel uneasiness or discomfort when you progress? If yes, dig deeper:
- Is this discomfort based on what others told you that limited your aspirations?
- Is this discomfort based on a fear of failure and worry about looking foolish?
- Are you concerned with achieving more than you thought possible?
- If you do better or achieve more, do you believe success is more than you deserve?
