Momentum & Self-Sabotage

This Monday, I had surgery, and what I thought would be a pretty quick recovery and smooth sailing…turned out to be a lot more challenging to handle.

It’s been a few painful days in bed, and this is why I have also been quiet

I found myself in a really vulnerable place, while I wanted to do all the things for my businesses, I noticed I couldn’t.

Even if those things are “simple,” like sending a few messages.

I gave myself some grace and rest, and while I am not back to normal, I am doing a lot better.

That's, however, not the reason why I am posting. I've had a few AHAs and I would love to share with you.

ONE: Momentum & Self-sabotage

It’s June 13th, and while it’s not yet the middle of the month quite yet, I feel like I lost four days, and that thought did something with me.

I felt like my momentum toward my month’s goals was gone, and a voice in my head started to talk me out of goals.

It sounded like:

“Now is just not a good time”

“Why is it even important to you? It doesn’t matter that much”

“You can do it another time”

While these thoughts can all be rationalized, given how I felt this week, they might even be “reasonable”.

The issue is that self-sabotage often disguises itself as an “understanding friend”.

Makes it so hard to recognize and catch in the act.

…and see it’s harm. Giving up on my goals might give me short term relief but it hurts me in the long run.

Let’s also keep in mind. Why would I give up with over 2.5 weeks left for the month?

Yes, I had a rough few days… That is life, though.

It shows how that inner voice can quickly lead us to quietly give up before having even fully tried. REALLY tried.

Perfect conditions for our goals are not to be expected…ever.

If we wait for perfect conditions… we will never even start, lose momentum, and eventually self-sabotage.

I got all philosophical and even emotional about it today 😅😂

Over the years, I have interacted with 1000s of people online, and one thing I saw many do:

>>>Wait for perfect conditions to start their business. <<<

They had such amazing ideas for their products….

….and yet they never felt it was the right time to do it.

Today is a day of self-reflection.

Please take a moment to *really* think about it.

Have you been putting your product off because you feel now is not the right time?

Now, the first instinctual answer you’ll give might be very reasonable.

Please poke a few holes in it and see if that is really the reason why. Or is it self-sabotage in disguise?

Creating a new future might require you to be unreasonable and uncomfortable.

This brings me to my second point of today. Taking action on our goals

TWO: Take action despite imperfect conditions

For me, this did not mean that I had to hustle through my pain this week.. I took some time to rest and recover. . It does, however, mean that in the coming 2.5 weeks, I still get to go all in on my goals.

I don’t need to wait for tomorrow, next Monday, the next first of the month.

It’s the middle of the month, so there is lots of time left to do amazing things.

Something I am really grateful I have been able to build over the years is that I have a strong commitment with my future self.
