You read my take on self-sabotage, now read Stephanie’s post on how to overcome it!

It blew my mind. Did she know she took the words right out of my mouth?

“For whatever reason, we’ve got something in our brain telling us we can’t do it.  We aren’t good enough.  We aren’t worthy.  ‘I am not lovable, and I will never be lovable.  People don’t love me, and that’s that.’   ‘I binged last week.  I don’t deserve to be thin.”  “I can’t get my shit together.  Maybe that means I’m not supposed to.  I never can.  I never will.  I am going to be this way forever.”

And then said exactly what I needed to hear?

“Be you, but be you excellently.

Do not be afraid to do it.  You are beautiful, you are yourself, you have nothing to fear in yourself and others.  No one is going to laugh at you if you fall.  And if they do– fuck ‘em!  It’s not worth your attention.  Your attention is better left for positivity in your life and in others.  Your growth is powerful for your soul.   It’s powerful for your friends.  It’s powerful for the universe.”

She also quoted my same quote from Marianne Williamson. I think we’re onto something…

Live big, guys. Don’t hold yourself back!
