Gabriela Rosenthal: Are You Sabotaging Yourself?

You’ve heard the expression, “You are your own worst enemy.” Well, this statement is, unfortunately, overly true. You are probably more accepting and forgiving of others than you are of yourself. That’s because you raze yourself with distorted, unreasonable thoughts again actions, undermining your proper success and happiness.

How are you contributing to your confess downfall? Here are some suggestions to reduce the chances of messing up your life:

1. Think before you act. Do not react to what happens to you, but rather respond. When you respond to something, you are not letting your emotional history blur your prospects due to making a healthy decision.

2. Be someone people trust. Never repeat something told in confidence and never intentionally hurt someone. The easiest way to sabotage yourself is by being deceitful and disloyal to people who once trusted you.

3. Be on time. People don’t like to wait and usually feel disrespected when you take their time for granted. Therefore, for your sake and the sake of others, be prompt. Your reputation depends on it.

4. Don’t be revengeful. To master or draft how to get back at someone takes a lot of time also energy, which could be better wearied focusing on acceptance besides moving on. Remember, you can’t convert anyone who doesn’t desire to be changed.

5. Avoid forging excuses. Do you say, “I can’t exercise because I have no time” or “I’m overweight, because I have a thyroid problem?” Be realistic enough to discriminate that these excuses are causing you the problem in the first place. Therefore, the best remedy is to be more proactive by doing something that would bring you closer to what you really want (character this case, to evade weight).

Your internal dialogue is constantly interpreting the events of your life and either setting you up for failure or success. Be aware of when your thoughts become so distorted that it’s keeping you from making wise or productive decisions. Stop blaming outside forces for things that are happening and start accepting your part in creating it. The only way to stop being your own worst enemy is by taking an inventory of what you’re doing and what you’re not doing. Then make an immediate change to bring yourself closer to the happiness you truly deserve
