Ep. 150 Why You Self Sabotage Your Health and Fitness Goals

You don’t self sabotage because you’re weak, not disciplined enough, or a “failure.” You self sabotage because something in the goal you are working towards is being perceived as a threat to your physical, mental, or emotional safety. Rather than try harder, do this instead: Most people actually have more than enough discipline to achieve their goals, they just aren’t applying it in the right way. We’ve been told that if we procrastinate or avoid taking action the only way to get where we want to go is to try harder & do it anyways... But that doesn’t work (& you know that too...) Here’s why... Every time you take action despite the procrastination, perfectionism, and avoidance coming up you aren’t “fixing” the situation... you are actually AVOIDING the problem at hand. That’s because procrastination, perfectionism & more don’t magically disappear if you discipline yourself once, twice, or even 1000 times. Unless you get rid of the thing that’s causing those patterns you are going to need discipline every single time if you ever want to accomplish anything. Although most of us have enough discipline... we don’t have an unlimited amount of it. In this episode, we'll discuss the all or nothing mindset and how it involved our recent trip to Mexico, why you're actually self-sabotaging, and why asking yourself the right questions is key.  Time Stamps:  (2:02) The Pattern of Self-Sabotage (4:47) All or Nothing and Coming Back From Mexico (6:27) Why You Are Actually Self-Sabotaging (13:57) Asking Yourself Questions Are the Key---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women’s Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------​Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we’ll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?
