                                         "5 Ways People Sabotage Themselves...And How To Avoid Them!"
                                                                                           By Bob Hatem

PEOPLE SABOTAGE attaining their goals in many ways. The following five examples are just random possibilities. None of these is more important than another, although many of you reading them will “feel” that one is more important... why? Because that one may be the way in which you sabotage yourself!

First, having a time limit in which to have the goal accomplished. Allow yourself the time necessary to get everything done.

Second, having a goal so large that it can become overwhelming. If your goal is too large, - divide it into smaller, easier to handle pieces.

Third, depending upon others to “do it for you”. Own your goal; take the initiative to get it done.

Fourth, procrastination. Adjust your goal if necessary and crank up your motivation.

Fifth, goals that have components contrary to your beliefs or values. Work with someone who knows the process for setting achievable goals. Working with a “consultant”, you will have guidance to make sure you have all the necessary “components” and have an observer who will check if you are giving unconscious
hints that something is not quite right.
