Shop eCoursesAny time we feign anything, we do so out of fear that without that "persona" to protect us--to make that impression we want--we won't get what we want. This whole way of thinking is secret self-sabotage. It sinks us in our personal and business relationships as surely as a torpedo wrecks the ship it strikes. Learning how to stop this self-sinking is our focus here. Your consideration of the two special insights that follow will start you down the path to a whole new kind of self-command.
Stop trying to be strong. Instead, catch yourself about to act from weakness.
Following are ten examples of where you may be secretly sabotaging yourself while wrongly assuming you're strengthening your position with others.
The next time you feel as though you're about to fall into one of these self-protecting behaviors, break out of the pattern by giving yourself a quick and simple interior pressure check. This test will help you check for and cancel any undetected weakness that's about to make you sabotage yourself.
Your awareness of any pressure building within you is the proof that it's some form of fear--and not you--that wants to do the explaining, fawning, impressing, blabbing, or whatever that self-sabotaging inner pressure is pushing you to commit. Each time you feel this pressurized urge to give yourself away, silently but solidly refuse to release this pressure by giving into its demands. It may help you to succeed sooner if you know that fear has no voice unless it tricks you into giving it one. Strengthen yourself with awareness. Choosing inner seeing over the wish to be seen by others in a complimentary light stops the cycle of self-sabotage.
