How To Finally Get Out Of Your Own Way

by working through the emotions that have kept you stuck.

There are people out there that believe they are completely in control of their destiny.

Others feel like they were dealt a certain hand in life, and that’s why they can’t seem to break through and accomplish their dreams.

Whichever way you feel, or even if it’s a hybrid, one thing is for sure. There have probably been a few occasions where you put yourself squarely in your own way. It’s not always easy to spot when it’s happening because the “blocks” are beautifully packaged as “reasons” and seem to fall right in line with your narrative.

The idea of being in your own way and limiting yourself from achieving your goals is often labeled as self-sabotage.

But why would you deliberately do anything to keep yourself from succeeding?

It’s complicated and depends on what you’re sabotaging.

Here are some signs that you may be unconsciously getting in your own way.

You seek perfection in all you do. This is unrealistic and can easily lead to low self-esteem and putting your dreams on hold for fear of failing or being less than perfect. Being overly critical can also have a lasting impact on your self-esteem.

If you find yourself being particularly pessimistic or finding the negative in all things, pay attention because this could be a sign of sabotage and is likely to keep you from taking steps forward. If you look for the negatives, you’ll almost always find them.

Allowing yourself to put things off or convincing yourself that you don’t have time can be a sign that you’re committed to standing in your own way. Doing this regularly can lead to higher levels of stress and anxiety, creating a vicious cycle of staying stuck.
