Stop Sabotaging Your Goals and Glorifying Being “Busy”

Can you remember when the last time you randomly met a person for a drink or cup of coffee with no goals in mind? You probably can’t remember if you are a workaholic.

You like to have your planner and digital calendar at hand to schedule your appointments. If you want to squeeze a friend in, you may be looking at least three months ahead. Does this sound familiar?

Some of the highest achievements on your bucket list are taking the back seat if you live like this. Somehow you haven’t found time between your volunteer work, job, and everything else you are supposed to be doing.

What Is Self-Sabotage?

Anything that stops you from reaching your dreams of success and achieving your goals is self-sabotage. Many people get self-worth by focusing on checking off items from their to-do lists and being busy.

Day in and day out, we block ourselves from reaching success by committing to senseless unfurling distractions. That often results in exhaustion and physical symptoms that don’t seem to have a notable cause.

You don’t want to find out too late in life that over-scheduling and your excessive work ethic caused your demise. Below we have listed things that can help you take control of your life and avoid self-sabotage.

Set Goals to Schedule Fewer Events and Stop Going from One Thing to Another Immediately

Over-scheduling can cause more harm than good. The feeling of not making an appointment or rocking up late can play a significant role in your mental well-being. 

Only Say “Yes” to Thing in Alignment with Your Values and Goals

Using your time effectively is the first step to success in life and business. Don’t be afraid to say “no” if something comes up that doesn’t benefit you directly. 

Recognize That Being Busy is Not Your Problem, but a Cultural One

Our society has drilled people into thinking that they need to be busy all the time. That is so far from the truth and is the cause of a lot of pain and suffering. You may second guess your choices, so don’t let this modernized work culture affect your health.

From Self Sabotaging to Self-Supporting

You know what is good for you, so listen to your body and mind if things start to feel uneasy. The truth is we are our own supporters and biggest fans. Career success, happiness, and fulfillment are found when you take a step back and slow down in life.

In life, you will face plenty of obstacles while working towards your dreams; you can start to feel more confident by reaffirming to yourself that you are not the one who put them there.
