Some people have never felt comfortable talking about themselves or their accomplishments, did you know that? And in the long run, they have realized that this has limited them in at least two major ways.
Some people have never felt comfortable talking about themselves or their accomplishments, did you know that? And in the long run, they have realized that this has limited them in at least two major ways.
One is, they realize that they are not selling themselves enough, two is, they realize that they are denying others the opportunity to connect and learn valuable life lessons from them.
Not to worry, as usual, we have put together 5 ways in which we feel you have been sabotaging yourself.
- COMPARING YOURSELF WITH OTHERS
A little bit of self-comparison is healthy and it pushes you to strive for more, but when you make it a habit to compare yourself with others, you sabotage yourself and stir up feelings of inadequacy within yourself.
- BEING DESPERATE
Desperation is one of the highest forms of self-sabotage, it pushes you to stoop low and settle for far less than you deserve.
- DOWNPLAYING YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS
So, downplaying your accomplishments might seem like a humble thing to do, but it is self-sabotage. It doesn’t matter how tiny your achievements are, you achieved them and you should wear them as a badge of honour.
- GIVING INTO SELF-DOUBT
We all deal with self-doubt, it’s completely normal, but you sabotage yourself anytime you allow it to stop you from going after your goals.
- GOING AGAINST YOUR VALUES
You sabotage yourself when you trade your values in order to make people accept you. Get comfortable telling people the things you stand for, if it makes them uncomfortable, it means that they don’t belong in your life.
