Carol Look – I’m Afraid To Shine
Description of I’m Afraid To Shine
Do you sometimes find that you sabotage your success? Do you get in your own way when you want to attract abundance? Avoid what needs to get done? Procrastinate on an important project, or scramble something that’s supposed to be easy? Me too, until I discovered how easily could clear the reasons why I was sabotaging my success or procrastinating in the first place.
If you’re not living the successful life you’ve been wanting and picturing, it’s likely that you have a major fear of success that is causing you to sabotage yourself. This simply means that we have negative images of success, or positive reasons to stay at our current levels of scarcity.
We all beat up on ourselves when we notice our sabotage behavior. We blame ourselves for procrastinating or scold ourselves for being late on a project, but the truth is, if we are sabotaging ourselves in these ways, we are just trying to keep ourselves emotionally safe. Otherwise, we wouldn’t do these annoying behaviors that get in our way. Remember, everything we do in our lives serves a purpose. And needing to feel emotionally safe is the number one reason we sabotage ourselves – and it “wins” every time.
Why Are You Sabotaging Your Success?
Can you think of any reasons that you might want to sabotage your success? Any reasons you might feel unsafe being successful?
Picture the you want in your life now – success in your personal life, in business, finances, or physical health. Picture it fully, and put yourself in this picture of success and abundance. Now notice anything that doesn’t feel totally comfortable about this scene. Is there any tension about having that success? Any discomfort? Any “yes buts…” that seem to be surfacing?
It may surprise you to find that you have strong emotional resistance to attracting success and abundance, but it’s incredibly common. More importantly, it’s incredibly simple to release your resistance to success with. All you need to do is identify and tap on the reasons you’re afraid to be your best you. Once you eliminate the reasons you sabotage, you will no longer need to repeat this energetic pattern.
Identify Your Fears Of Success
To identify more specifics about your fear of success, ask yourself the following questions:
- What’s the “downside” of getting this success I want?
- What’s the “upside” of staying where I am?
- How does it serve me to sabotage? (What’s the benefit of sabotage?)
The answers to these questions will lead you to the tapping sequences you need to use to break through your abundance barriers.
Examples of Sabotaging Your Success
Suppose you want to get promoted at work – what might be the “downside” of this success? Many people are afraid of other people’s jealousy and envy, so without knowing it, they sabotage their chances of getting promoted. In other words, they’d rather be safe and in their same position, than get promoted and have to put up with jealousy from co-workers.
Take another scenario and suppose you want to double your income – ask yourself the same questions:
“What’s the downside of doubling my income?”
“How does it serve me to stay earning my current salary?”
How does it serve me to sabotage
What’s the downside of starting your online business or getting your ebook published or reaching any other goal? You might be surprised by what answers you hear from inside…
