Self Sabotage
We all have one or two areas where we're not so confident. It could be that we doubt ourselves in relationships, with finances, or in our jobs and careers. In all cases, we are living within what we perceive to be our limits.
Gay Hendricks author of The Big Leap (which I highly recommend) calls it our Upper Limit. These limits are predominantly self-imposed and whenever we get close to breaking through the ceiling of our Upper Limit we touch fear and end up subconsciously sabotaging ourselves.
This is because, deep down we don't actually believe we deserve to be happy all the time, as a result, we don't embrace and bloom into our full potential. For example...
Relationships
You meet your ideal partner but instead of enjoying the relationship, you deliberately cause arguments or display insecure behaviours which drive the other person away.
Work / Career
Your Managers want to promote you but then you start making careless mistakes or even leave to avoid the additional responsibility.
Finances
You receive a windfall and end up spending it all within a year.
Our Upper Limits are made solid by fear, worry, blame, criticism and false, limiting beliefs. Once you understand your power and that most of the time fear or self-doubt means you're on the edge of something great, you will find the courage to feel through them as you move into the realm of potentiality.
