Taming Sabotaging Behaviors

Today we discussed sabotaging behaviors. Those things that show up when we are on a roll to distract us and hold us back from what we want. If you have done the Goals Report assessment located on my home page at www.StartingNowCoaching.com , there is a part in which you determined your sabotaging behavior. When I looked through the results of the reports visitors have taken over the last year and a half, this is how they have ranked.

Procrastination- the #1 sabotaging behavior by a land slide
Indecisiveness & Tolerating- tied for 2nd
Following Secondary Goals- came in 3rd
Not saying "no"- came in 4th
Others included Lack of Focus, Not Always Telling the Truth, Not Listening to Intuition, Acting as a Lone Ranger, Self Esteem/ Fear, and Controlling Life/People.

Steps to tame your sabotaging behavior(s):
1) Identify it so you can recognize it when it shows up
2) Create a plan to respond differently when it rears its ugly head
3) Carry through... take new actions for new results

Let me know if you have any thoughts on what you want to discuss next week.
December 14th will be our end of the year celebration.

Hear you next Wednesday! If you just came across the Blog and would like to join us at the Moving Beyond Limits Revolution you can by sign up at www.StartingNowCoaching.com . We would love for you to join us and you can opt-out any time!

Cheers~ Beth
