This episode is all about self-sabotage and the subconscious mind. Maybe this is something you’ve dealt with because I know that I’ve dealt with this many times in my personal life and professional life. It’s this idea that we set goals for ourselves, and we create intentions for improving our life, yet we seem to get in our own way and sabotage our own success.
Well, today, we’re gonna listen in on one of Matthew Brownstein’s previously recorded conscious community classes. And this is a series that he put on for the graduates of the Institute of interpersonal hypnotherapy, which is the school that is putting on this podcast for you. If you want to check out more about hypnotherapy and learn about the Institute, just head over to www.Instituteofhypnotherapy.com, but today’s episode is all about self-sabotage the subconscious mind, and why we get in our own way.
Matthew is going to break down exactly why this happens. We’re going to look at some questions like why do we have high goals and intentions, but then we do stuff that just literally is in direct opposition to what we say we want? How does low self-esteem keep us from moving outside of our comfort zone? What are some of the secondary gains from actually having these problems in our life? Self-sabotage happens in five major categories in our life at any given time: our spirituality, our mental and emotional health, our physical health, our career and finances, and even in our personal relationships.
Matthew is going to cover all of those, and how you can break out of this cycle of getting in your own way. Now this class, again, was delivered to past graduates of the Institute, so it’s being delivered in a way to allow our graduates to better help their clients. But this information is also very relevant for how you can help yourself. So make sure that you keep an ear open and use some of these techniques in your own life.
We’re going to be looking at the inner critical voice and this idea of “shoulding” on ourselves. “I should do better.” “We should do this.” “We should be more.” This inner critical voice is very strong, and there’s a reason for it.
We’re also going to look at how to know if your goals are actually right for you and harmonious for where you should be going in your life. Are you moving in the right direction? Well, there’s a compass that you can use to know whether or not the goals that you’re setting for yourself are harmonious for you.
