Self-sabotage at its finest.
It’s like my brain’s got its own agenda, you know? Just when things are going smoothly, it decides to throw a curveball, making up problems out of thin air. It’s exhausting, really.
I mean, why can’t it just chill for a minute? Why does it have to go into overdrive, thinking of the worst-case scenarios that are about as likely as winning the lottery? It’s like my brain’s playing a game of “What If” on hard mode, and I’m stuck trying to keep up. Honestly, I don’t even know where this self-sabotage stems from. Certainly, I’m doing something that is fueling the fire!
And when I try to focus on doing something positive, like taking care of myself or pursuing my goals, it’s like my brain’s on strike. It’s like, “Nah, I’m good. Let’s think about all the ways this could go wrong instead.” Thanks, brain. Real helpful. And all this makes me believe that instead of mastering self confidence, I’m out here mastering self-sabotage.
But you know what? I’ve come to realize that the moment I start listening to all that noise in my head, I’m done. It’s like giving in to a toddler’s temper tantrum—once you start, there’s no going back. So instead of letting my brain run the show, I’m learning to take charge.
I’m practicing mindfulness, staying present in the moment instead of getting lost in a sea of hypotheticals. I’m reminding myself that most of the time, those worries are just that—worries. They’re not reality, and they don’t deserve my attention.
Sure, it’s a work in progress. Some days, my brain’s louder than others, and that’s okay. But little by little, I’m learning to quiet the noise and focus on what really matters. Because at the end of the day, I’m the one steering this ship, and I refuse to let self-sabotage be the captain.
Until next time, Adios amigo!
