WHAT NOW?

1. Select the ways you sabotage yourself in the list.
2. Choose 1 – 2 of the most common now.
3. 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.
4. Do it. Knowing that you will NOT be great at that in the beginning. Give yourself permission for that!
5. Appreciate yourself for what you do. Your efforts. Going beyond your comfort zone.
6. On this site, you will find tools and a new perspective to stay on track 🙂
7. I support you ?
