No matter why you’ve developed self-sabotaging habits, there are 3 easy things you can do to stop yourself from ruining your chances before you begin.<\/p>\n
My running shoes are sitting by my front door. My sweats are folded on a chair in my bedroom and a Rolling Stones concert t-shirt with pit stains is draped over it. I\u2019m all set to wake up at six am, suit up, and go for a run before work.<\/p>\n
But the Tonight Show is on, and since I\u2019m up late I get hungry again and I\u2019m snacking. It\u2019s after one before I fall asleep and when the alarm hits at six it hits hard. A few rounds of snooze later and I don\u2019t even have time for breakfast as I rush out the door, passing my running shoes\u2014which have been untouched for a month! Tomorrow, I promise myself. Tomorrow I\u2019ll run. Though I didn\u2019t consciously do so, this near-daily routine is a form of self-sabotage<\/a><\/strong> that\u2019s kept me from meeting<\/strong> my goals and accomplishing what I want<\/strong><\/a> out of my life.<\/p>\n But if I want to run, why didn\u2019t I run? It\u2019s not just that it\u2019s difficult or painful\u2014we all do difficult and painful things every day. For many of us, a part of our inner psyche is afraid that if we rise we also risk falling\u2014and it\u2019s a malfunctioning safety mechanism that attempts to protect us from venturing into unknown territory. A mechanism that needs to be fixed if you want to live a successful and satisfying life.

Put first things first. Make an un-ordered list of what you want to accomplish, then order it and tackle it in order. Writing things down keeps the self-sabotager inside of you from moving that idea to reorganize your closet by color and season to the forefront, and you get immense satisfaction when you cross your items off your list. You\u2019ll be amazed at just how much more you can do in your day when you practice this.<\/p>\n 2. PLAN YOUR MEALS AND SNACKS<\/strong><\/p>\n If you walked out the door to a gloomy black-clouded sky, you\u2019d be silly to not grab a raincoat and umbrella on the good chance of rain\u2014but every day millions of people don\u2019t prepare for the inevitability of being hungry, and when we\u2019re hungry we (A.) don\u2019t concentrate well and have mood swings, (B.) have to adjust our schedules to make time to find food, and (C.) make poor choices to stave off the increasing hunger. If you were driving cross-country, you wouldn\u2019t head out without a full gas tank and a map, so don\u2019t do it to yourself. Plan out meals, and have snacks on you so you run on optimum fuel all the way through your day.<\/p>\n 3. GET PLENTY OF SLEEP<\/strong><\/p>\n Like the old Seinfeld routine\u2014don\u2019t let night guy screw up day guy. Day guy\u2019s problem is also night guy\u2019s problem. There\u2019s only one you, so support yourself by making sure you\u2019re well rested, and get over your self-declaration that you\u2019re a night owl\u2014this too is a form of sabotage. Give yourself enough time to sleep and be where you need to be, on time, well rested, and ready to seize the day. You\u2019ll adjust and the successes you get behind you will fuel you to newer and greater heights.<\/p>\n Now those are three easy ways to offset self-sabotage before it begins\u2014but what about the habits that are fully flourishing? Stopping those isn\u2019t easy; in fact you may even require help. It\u2019s scary to be this vulnerable, but your friends and loved ones know your faults and habits. Ask them and listen. You\u2019ll naturally want to put up a wall and argue but listen and let it wash over you. You\u2019ll be glad you did.<\/p>\n A coach or a psychic can also help overcome these habits. Ever wonder why it\u2019s called a psychic reading? It\u2019s because the psychics read you as if you\u2019re a book. Ask for a reading without reference to other people or events\u2014ask the psychic to reveal these self-sabotaging aspects. It\u2019s going to be hard to hear, but once you see the face of your enemy, it has a much harder time hiding within you and you\u2019ll see immediate improvements in all aspects of your life.<\/p>\n The definition of success is knowing you will be able to do what needs to be done when you need to do it. Start with these and you\u2019ll be amazed how some basic footing will keep you from kicking your own chair out from underneath you.<\/p>\n1. PLAN AND PRIORITIZE<\/h4>\n
