Stop Self-Sabotaging

Your subconscious need for emotional balance is causing you to feel overwhelmed.

Given your past successes, you already understand that your expertise is sufficient, and having 20 open tasks on your lists doesn’t stress you out anymore. However, a deep feeling tells you that you are still not enough.

Knowing that you have the expertise and, at the same time, living with the feeling of not being enough creates an inner conflict that ultimately affects external results. Thanks to this, your mind then amplifies the "you are not enough” emotion.

Addressing this state of yours with mental strategies not only uses more of your brain's capacity, but it also keeps you running the same loop again and again. That is why we treat your path to emotional balance differently in this workshop.

The Mental Strategies

Common strategies and therapies to address your stress level, to find clarity, and to calm your nervous system include layered questioning, future-self visualizations, constraints-based narrowing, wheel of life or similar systems, specific journaling, legacy framing, and more.

Here is what happens when you approach your inner conflict with these tools:

• ✦You use your brain's capacity to handle, or even control, your feelings. This leaves less brain capacity for your real work.
• ✦You list your tasks every day by priority, sometimes even subconsciously setting them up for failure. This is sabotaging your results and keeping you in the “not enough” loop.
• ✦You feel better after a couple of minutes, and then within the next few days, you run the same program again.
• ✦Every time used, these methods lose their power because your mind learns the method and its way around it. It wants to protect your emotional dependency on the feeling of not being enough.
• ✦You are attracted to the mental solution because it promises quick relief and suggests you have more time for the urgent tasks. Which, should be understood, is unfortunately the opposite.

When you try to solve your emotional “not enough” profile with a logical “to-do list,” you don’t reach it.

The Path of This Workshop

The overwhelming struggle you feel is related to your emotional dependency on an old pattern. When you feel “not enough”, you seem to be in balance, and with that, your nervous system can relax for a bit. To experience this relaxation, you are creating the needed circumstances subconsciously. Together, we reach the point where this emotional dependency can be released, and with that, the need for stress, fear, and self-sabotaging patterns also leaves you.

This method is not suppressing your mind or covering/deleting your emotions. The whole process is in harmony with your system, and you can use the method for many other challenges in the future by yourself without guidance.
