Greetings Buddies:

Here is part two of the article about self sabotage where some suggestions are made:


Here are five great ways to overcome fear of success and unwanted behaviors:

1. Continually tell yourself that you welcome challenges. Stay willing to challenge yourself to your maximum ability. Move forward in your commitment by eliminating all self-defeating words and phrases from your vocabulary and replace them with positive affirmations.
2. Believe that whatever goals you set out to achieve, you’ll give them 100% effort. Stop providing excuses to blame yourself and others. Believe that your success motivates you to eliminate all the ‘shoulds,’ ‘woulds,’ ‘can’ts’ and ‘musts’ from your vocabulary.
3. Be the best you can. Continually visualize yourself achieving your health and fitness goals. Stretch all your mental, emotional, and physical power within you. Believe and feel that you are a successful, enthusiastic, motivated, and powerful person. Remember, your beliefs significantly impact the way you feel and act.
4. Negative words from others can crush your motivation like nothing else, so disregard self-defeating statements from others. Let others know you don’t want to hear their negative comments.
5. Success is achieved by continually expressing positive self-talk directed at developing your self-esteem, self-confidence, enthusiasm, and motivation. “I can do it,” “great effort,” and “awesome workout” are excellent expressions of your enthusiasm, influencing your success in health and fitness and the rest of your life.
When we consider moving toward our dreams and desires, a part of us automatically looks ahead to the possible challenges and barriers — especially the negative ones.
You have the power within you and the choice to control negativity and self-sabotaging behavior by creating positive beliefs and envisioning positive outcomes of success and accomplishment. Eliminating your negative thoughts is a process, not an action.



Words of the week:
Always be prepared!
I am dedicated, determined, and diligent

Thanks for sharing these. #4 is so true and it takes way more positive to get rid of the negative. I'd rather focus on the positive if at all possible.

These are good...really good. I know I'm trying to change and without reading this, these were some of the things I was doing to make my changes. I have been making challenges in my life recently and believing that I can achieve them. You have to set goals that are realistic and ones that you can achieve to succeed, though. Think positively, think good thoughts, be kind. If you do good, you will feel good. I know I had a lot of self doubt and recently I have awoken again and I'm feeling free. I want to do more with my life and the first thing is to lose this weight. It's amazing how different you are treated being obese as opposed to being skinny. I see it all the time.
