Why We Self-Sabotage (and how to stop it!)
Hi founders! I’m so excited to bring you LIVE STREAMS with me every day at 2:30pm PST / 5:30pm EST . They are 13 minutes and meant to infuse your day with positive energy and inspiration around feminine leadership, startups and social impact.
What are some of the ways that you self-sabotage when working on your social change idea?
When we start working on something "big" - whether that's launching a brand new social impact idea, trying to raise funding, or scaling out or stepping into a new leadership identity, we will be met by blocks. Self-resistance. Self-sabotage.
Why do we do everything except for the thing that we know we have to do in order to move forward successfully? It's because it's uncomfortable to change.
When we have so much passion and hope and vision for what we are building, it can be intimidating to our "ego" or self-identity - who we know ourselves to be. (We know ourselves to be small, or one level behind.) If what we are stepping into threatens our sense of self, the ego will put ANY distraction in front of you to prevent you from stepping into your power and leadership.
The trick is to consciously re-form "who we know ourselves to be" so we can quietly side-step blocks and resistance and move powerfully back into creator-ship.
