The (subconscious) habit that prevents you from reaching your goals
You have a well-developed habit of being hard on yourself.
There, I said it.
Here’s how it happens: You set a New Year’s resolution or a new goal. They start off as bright and shiny, then a few weeks later, excitement gives way to exhaustion.
Why does this happen?
It comes from a performative view of self-worth. Your inner critic convinces you to set goals by telling you that you’ll feel better about yourself when you’ve achieved them.
She implies that you’ll be more admirable when you’ve done something challenging. And then she weaponizes the process with her excruciating standard of perfectionism.
Making it impossible to earn your own approval and trapping you in a subconscious cycle of self-sabotage that’s energetically depleting and emotionally draining.
What matters is thoughts about yourself and BELIEVING in your inherent SELF-WORTH.
What if you approved of yourself independent of your accomplishments?
In the grand scheme of things, whether or not you accomplish your goals matters very little.
Goals are simply an optional enrichment curriculum for personal growth that we choose to enhance our experience of living.
You’re equally worthy in your doing or not doing, so lead yourself with GRACE + COMPASSION.
