WHAT NOW?
- Select the ways you sabotage yourself in the list.
- Choose 1 – 2 of the most common now.
- Decide now what are you going to do differently when this situation arises again/ next time.
For example: walking around the block instead of overeating,
writing down what you already have and what is already working, and doing it more,
planning a difficult conversation with a partner or client and preparing for it, etc. - Do it. Knowing that you will NOT be great at that in the beginning. Give yourself permission for that!
- Appreciate yourself for what you do. Your efforts. Going beyond your comfort zone.
- On this site, you will find tools and a new perspective to stay on track 🙂
