By Dr. Bradley Nelson

No matter our goals, sometimes we end up making choices or acting in a way that undermines what we really want, even with the best of conscious intentions, we often allow this self-sabotage to creep in and prevent us from reaching our goals.

Here are 5 ways people sabotage their goals and what to do about it:

1FOCUSING ON FAILURE

What to do: The people who succeed may actually have more failures in their lives because it’s those failures that lead to the skill and wisdom to succeed the next time. Rather than feeling defeated when you fail, look for the lessons and the things you’ve done right that you can build upon. 2NOT CELEBRATING SMALL VICTORIES What to do: When you’re working on a goal, it usually helps to break it down into smaller milestones. The same concept can be applied to the celebration of those milestones. Don’t wait to pat yourself on the back until you’ve reached your goal. Celebrate the minor victories you achieve along the way.

3PROCRASTINATING What to do: Procrastination may result from feelings or Trapped Emotions of fear, dread, or insecurity. Resolving the emotions that may cause you to put things off can make a world of difference in your success.

5IMPOSTER SYNDROME (feeling you are not worthy of success, happiness, love, etc.) What to do: Take stock of your accomplishments – write them down. And don’t just focus on the big things. After all, the small stuff is what adds up to make you the person you are. Hold on to your list. Add to it at every opportunity.
