How Are You Sabotaging Yourself?

"If you play it safe in life you've decided that you don't want to grow any more." --Shirley Hufstedler

How are you sabotaging your potential for change? Are you getting the results you want from your fitness program?

We unconsciously use defence mechanisms to shield us from situations or actions we perceive to be scary or painful. We do not want try something new, a new workout program or a new nutrition program cause we are scarred to try. It might be painful or uncomfortable.

A part of you may want to grow and change, but another part may be resisting because change always moves you into new territory or a new level in your thinking and emotions.

If you find you are getting anxious, fearful, angry, frustrated, dismissive or unmotivated, then defence mechanisms are at work. Watch for them and know them to be signs of fear that wants to hold you back from getting a progress. Then courageously move through them.
Act as a champion and do not try to sabotage yourself.
