What are your most embarrassing moments? Do you have them in your mind?
I mentioned to a friend of mine recently that two of my most embarrassing moments in my life happened in the last couple of weeks. Well, as you know, be careful what you put out to the universe. In the trifecta of my embarrassments, number three was this week too! I had really hoped that I was done making these sorts of faux pas. Which of course, is why I am guided to write about these today. My “mistakes” aren’t over yet. I am still engaging in unforced errors that we might call of form of self-sabotage.
In the outer world, my self-sabotage comes from being too impatient and wanting to be efficient. Of course, rushing through things may seem efficient but it isn’t always effective. I am like the quote usually attributed to Winston Churchill, “You can always count on the Americans to do the right thing after they have tried everything else.” That is me sometimes. I don’t have time to do it right, but I do have time to do it over.
In my inner world, my self-sabotage comes from not listening closely enough to my inner wisdom. Many times, this stems from not slowing down enough to listen to the little voice of concern that flashes in my consciousness. When I get these little hits, if I would just take a moment to ask, “is this something I need to check in about?” or “is there some information that needs to come to my conscious awareness,” a lot of heartache and seemingly negative consequences would be avoided. But, I am still learning. And I need to stop beating myself up about the fact that I still have lessons to learn.
With many issues, rolled up with the self-sabotage are the elements of self-judgment, lack of self-forgiveness and lack of self-worth. As I try to master listening to my guidance, I will also need to master trusting and following my guidance, too.
With these ideas in mind, let’s take a couple minutes to ask our souls for guidance. Ask: what form does my self-sabotage take? What do I need to heal in order to self-sabotage less often or not at all? What energies or frequencies will help me with healing self-sabotage? Are some of the energies I need Trust, Non-Judgment, Self-Forgiveness, Worthiness or Surrender to the Plan? Take a few moments to write down what will help you. Once you are done with this inventory, set your intention to clear or heal the aspects that need to be cleared. Set the intention to hold the frequencies that will aid you in healing your self-sabotage.
