Brianna Wiest - The Mountain Is You_ Transforming Self-Sabotage Into Self-Mastery (2020)

6 6 BRIANNA WIEST
keep hitting the same wall that you’re up against already.
You’re going to strengthen the self-sabotaging behavior
because you aren’t really solving the problem by just trying
to override it.
Instead, start asking the right questions.
Why do I feel this way?
What is this feeling trying to tell me about the action I am
trying to take?
Is there something I need to learn here?
What do I need to do to honor my needs right now?
Then you have to reconnect to your inspiration or your
vision for life. Get clear on why you want to take this action
and make a change. When your motivation is the
fact that you want to live a different and better existence,
you’re going to find that a lot of the resistance fades because
you’re being pushed by a vision that’s greater than
your fear.
In other cases, you might run into other emotions such
as anger, sadness, or inadequacy. When those feelings
come up, it is very important to make space for them. This
means to allow them to rise up in your body and observe
them. Watch where they make you tense up or constrict.
Feel what they want you to feel. There is nothing worse
