Ep. #4: Self-Sabotage
Every human out there self-sabotages from time to time. For many of us, negative thoughts come up around our weight and our relationship with ourselves. These negative thoughts then cause us to feel badly, which then drives us to take actions that don’t serve us (like binge-eating, skipping exercise, snapping at family, etcetera).
The good news is that we can stop doing this. With some work to identify these thoughts and stop hiding from them, we can learn to pause when we have self-sabotaging thoughts. During this pause, we can choose new thoughts, feelings, and actions that will serve us and our goals, instead of undermine us.
In this episode, we’re talking all about self-sabotage and how you can start to shift this behavior. I’ll share how this came up for me during my time on the diet roller coaster, why it was so frustrating, and how I learned to pause my negative thoughts in action.
Finally, here are three transformational questions for you to ask yourself after you listen to today’s episode:
- How is self-sabotage showing up for you?
- What poisonous thoughts, which could seem innocent, could be driving your actions?
- What would you need to think to stop sabotaging your weight loss?
