Are Your Intentions and Actions Aligned?


Overcome Self-Sabotage

"Are You Sabotaging Your Intended Efforts For Success?"


Successful living, whether personally, in work or in love, ultimately stems from our inner perceptions and the congruence of our actions. If what we want and how we go about accomplishing our goals is INcongruent, then we are likely to experience self-sabotage.

In order for success to be achieved, ones intentions and actions must be in alignment.

Take a moment to see if your desired results are actually being processed effectively, or if you are tripping yourself up along the way.

Ask yourself:
  • Do I truly WANT what I think I want?
  • Do I earnestly BELIEVE that I can achieve my goal?
  • Do I deeply feel that I DESERVE to have what I want?
If you experience nagging doubt about the answer to one or more of the above questions when you've decided to pursue a goal, then you may be a candidate for self-sabotage. So, the question is: how do you overcome the doubts that may cause your intentions to stall out?

Explore your real intentions. Why are you acting on this particular goal? Is it actually your goal or someone else's? Is the goal 100% what you want? Taking the time to consider this fundamental step is very important and can mean the difference between success and disappointment.

Explore your level of belief. In addition to wanting the goal, do you truly believe the goal is achievable? Do you believe down deep this is important enough to you to go after it? Have you thought about the tools and resources you will need for positive action? Can you commit yourself to what is necessary to accomplish the results you want?

Explore your feelings about deserving the outcome. While this may seem strange, if you do not completely feel that you are worthy of a successful outcome, all the time and energy invested simply will not bring the goal to fruition. This type of self-sabotage will definitely result in perplexing disappointment. If you definitely want the goal and believe in it, but have any doubt whether you are worthy of it's success --- figure out why you feel this way. Most likely, when honestly addressed, you can resolve this issue and move forward

It is absolutely wonderful when your intentions and actions are in alignment, and you know that you want a goal, believe in it, and deserve it. But, unless you consciously deal with these basic elements, then it is possible to sabotage your well-intended efforts.
