So much of your behaviour is automatic, in other words you do not even think about it. It is also conditional and generational, handed down to you generation to generation.
When you do things automatically that enhance your life, you should keep doing those things. When you do things automatically that are not good for you, they may sabotage your happiness without you even knowing it. Finding these behaviours can only have a positive knock on effect in your life.
Today you are going to look at a few self sabotaging behaviours, not to criticize yourself, feel guilty, or live in regret, but purely to start to notice. Remember, it all starts with noticing. Until you notice, you can never change it.
It is important to pause for a moment here and remember that none of this is your fault. These were protective mechanisms once upon a time that kept you safe.
This activity is not intended for you to feel less than or bad about yourself. The sheer fact that you are here looking at this shows a level of courage that not many have.
You are going to find behaviours that could sabotage your happiness. I’d like you to zoom out and answer honestly.
Remember, nobody is seeing this. This is for your eyes only.
Fantastic.
You just did something that was hard, but you did it anyway. Take a moment to see your courage.
You faced what you usually avoid, and then you danced anyway. That is what growth actually looks like.
