Whether it's consciously or not, we can sometimes be our biggest enemies. It's almost as if we have some sort of internal tracker that can sense when we're finally about to get a chance to be happy, only to completely destroy it in just one take. We think we can all agree that one of the absolute worst feelings in the world is when we initially push ourselves to work hard at something (whether it's in our personal, love or work life) but then we give up all hope and end up coming up short. Why is that?
Why do we put so much effort into destroying our own happiness?
Seriously, why do we go about making sure it doesn't happen? Life coach/host Renee Jain, authors Jennifer S. Wilkov, Mary Morrissey, and life coaches Carolyn R. Owens, and Crystal Kulpcavage definitely hit the nail on the head when they mention the ways in which self-sabotaging behavior is detrimental to our health. Even though it can be really hard at times, we have to make a conscious effort to stop getting in the way of our own happiness—Even if we're afraid of change.
Be honest. What does being afraid REALLY do for you?
We have to say that one of the most profound meanings of fear that we've ever heard was THIS: "The main thing that holds us back is that four letter word—Fear. And what does fear really mean? False evidence appearing real." And it makes total sense! Sometimes, we let our fear of the unknown take control over our lives. But if we were to put everything in perspective, we would see why we can't let that uncertainty stop us from living. Here's how you can stop that self-sabotaging behavior in its tracks and practice self love in its place.
