Let's admit we all do this , I am guilty of it too.
At times this quote " we are our worst enemy " seems to ring true ❗
These excuses... that we tell ourself and others... may seem simple , reasonable and valid ,
but could be highly damaging ❗ As it keeps us stucked or stagnant, holds us back from our true potentials , A great career , health , body , next level of income & the life that we dream of ❗❗
And whats worse is we often don't even realize it because ya , we believe them to be true thus valid 🤷 It then becomes our habit , a repetitive cycle & continue doing the damage to us , our life & perhaps even our family / close ones !
SO WHY DO WE GIVE EXCUSES ❓
Beside being a justification for our actions & inactions , Excuses are usually a defense / protective mechanism that comes out of fear . Yes , fear ! Fear of failing , fear of being ridiculed / criticized , fear of the unknown , fear of getting out of comfort zone , and even fear of success❗
AND WHERE DOES THESE FEARS COME FROM ❓
- Lack of self belief ❗
When you believe you are not capable / good enough , You would fear taking action , you procrastinate and you give excuses to cover or justify it.
Our subconscious mind create these excuses as a tool to protect our self from the perceived harm of failing , being criticized, ridiculed etc.
Check out if these excuses seem familiar to you :
❎ "I have no time" ❎ "There are too many competition" ❎ "I don't have enough money" ❎ "I am too old for that" ❎ "I am not that educated" ❎ "I am not lucky"
I do agree there are certainly some valid reasons there is ,for example if you have just gone through a surgery , you won't be able to participate in a marathon / dance competition.
But carefully analyze your words & thoughts to distinguish between REAL REASONS vs MERE EXCUSES .
So here is how I help :
I help you identify your inner critics , the reasons + root cause of it AND guide you in removing those limiting beliefs , which then helps you move forward confidently & bring about the transformation in yourself and your life !
