Check yourself before you wreck yourself.\u2014Karima Mariama<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We\u2019ve all been there.\u00a0 Our confidence levels have slipped; our “gremlins” are telling us “no” when our inner self is telling us “yes, you can do it”.\u00a0 We\u2019re hesitant to move forward, and we sometimes stall or tune out.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Karima Mariama provides 5 Self-Sabotaging Behaviors we should be aware of and make efforts to avoid.<\/p>\n

1. Comparing yourself to others<\/strong>
\nToo much focus on others is bad for business and worse for self-confidence. (That does not mean we can\u2019t learn from others, but if we\u2019re constantly comparing, we\u2019ll always find someone that “does it better”).<\/p>\n

2. Failure to take risks and consistently challenge yourself<\/strong>
\nThe most successful people are always pushing limits and expanding boundaries. Accept that things don\u2019t always go as planned, but don\u2019t settle. Be persistent; and always strive for new ways to do more.<\/p>\n

3. Succumbing to distractions<\/strong>
\nIncrease your ability to accomplish tasks by limiting your access to certain distractions. Be cognizant of the time spent on social media and your cell phone \u2013 is it time well spent?<\/p>\n

4. Inaction<\/strong>
\nPart of the reason we procrastinate is because we look at big projects and we don\u2019t know where to start. Break the required actions into smaller components and don\u2019t be afraid to ask for assistance when needed.<\/p>\n

5. An unwillingness to relinquish past mistakes<\/strong>
\nTry to tune out the negative self-talk; Be kind to yourself. Remember, to err is human; to forgive yourself is divine.<\/p>\n

Mistakes and missteps happen; we need to own them, learn from them, and assess what to do differently so they are not repeated. We also need to avoid self-sabotage.<\/p>\n

In the words of Travis Bradberry: Smart, successful people are by no means immune to making mistakes; they simply have the tools in place to learn from their errors.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
