20: Self-Sabotage: How to Stop Playing Victim to Yourself
“I think, in our society, rest can feel like I’m not doing enough or I’m missing out on something or that I’m not good enough if I’m resting.”
In this episode of The Good Enough Podcast, Jessica and McKenzie get real about the subtle, yet detrimental act of self-sabotage. They paint a picture of how these unconscious actions can manifest in our day-to-day lives. The Good Enough Goddesses dissect the roots of self-sabotage, pondering the effects of past traumas and societal pressures. Listen in to learn transformative steps towards recognizing these patterns, fostering self-acceptance, and nurturing the belief that we are, without a doubt, good enough.
This conversation isn’t just about identifying the problem; it’s about confronting it head-on, with vulnerability and courage. Our hosts tackle common culprits of self-sabotage like procrastination and perfectionism, and their ties to our hunger for external validation and shaky self-esteem.
But what about when it’s time to switch off? We’ve all faced the barriers to true relaxation. Delving into the nuances of rest, Jessica and McKenzie look at the challenges to disengaging from the relentless pressure of responsibilities and the lure of overstimulation. Sharing personal revelations about integrating rest into their living spaces, they explore actionable strategies for quieting the mind and finding alignment.
