"Self-sabotage is when we say we want something and then go about making sure it doesn't happen." -Alyce P. Cornyn-Selby
Do you think a trained athlete goes into a game thinking, "I know I'm
going to lose, I can just feel it." Or, "I'll never win this I'm just
not as good as the others." Or, "Who am I kidding, with my luck I'm
going to lose.
No way! These people are not only trained in their field of expertise
but they are "mentally" trained to prepare for the big events in their
lives. They are mentally pumped up! They visualize peak performance.
They see themselves winning. They master their mental skills so they
perform at their best. They are in the "Zone."
It's the same with your life. Do you believe you will succeed? Do you
know without a question that no matter what life throws you, you are a
survivor? Do you look at life with hope and anticipation of good
following you? Or, are you a defeatist? Do you approach your life with a
negative attitude and a foreboding that if the worst can happen, the
worst will happen?
If you are walking around saying things like, "I'll never do or have
whatever it is I want," whether it's to get married, lose weight, get
that job, find a way out of debt, be happy and on and on; you will
suffer defeat before you ever get in the game.
It's time to take a look at the glass and be honest as to whether or not
you see that glass half empty or half full. Decide how you want to
approach life. If you are on the "right" thinking path; keep on going.
But, if you find yourself walking down Poor Me Highway, it's time to get
off at the next exit and put yourself back on course.
People will go and work out for an hour, they will shop till the drop,
they will spend hours reading a book, they will spend time watching or
playing a sport but, when do they take the time to get in touch with
their inner-self and in particular their inner dialogue?
If you slow down and breathe and really listen to your thoughts you will
start to see why your life is where it is right now; why you haven't
met anyone yet, why you're still fat, why you won't let go of the past,
why you're still in debt and why you're still unhappy.
Your thoughts are the conduit for your experiences. Whatever you
mentally put out there, whether you're aware of it or not, is exactly
what you will see showing up in your life. Your life is a mirror of what
you think.
So if you want to get into the game of life and play it like a champ;
enjoying the thrill of winning and being a viable contender. Then don't
allow your thoughts to defeat you before you even give yourself a
chance.
Start today and let yourself know that it's inherent in your nature to
be a winner. You have the ability to do the
things you think you can't and have success in any area of your life.
Tap into the strength that is already within you to be the best you can
be and leave the rest behind. Get the word "loser" out of your
vocabulary and triumph over a defeatist mentality to win the prize of
your life. Happiness, peace of mind and the confidence to be anything
you want to be and do anything you want to do!
Do Your Thoughts Defeat You?
