Prior to this wonderful transformational life, I was the VP of Media Relations for a public relations firm. Before a big media pitching day, I would periodically lose my voice. This was a form of what we commonly call self-sabotage. We all create these distractions out of some fear—fear of not being good enough, fear of failure, fear of success, etc.—thereby impeding our progress on the journey. Please note that I used the word impede, not stop.
To understand when you need to side-step sabotage, it is important to set your intention to notice when you are creating these obstacles. The exercise below is to help you notice the signs of self-sabotage:
- Take a deep breath and focus on your tailbone (this allows your mind something to focus on, allowing the spirit to steer the ship).
- Ask your Soul to show you one “thing” you do when creating a self-sabotage situation.
- Write that down and set the intention to be aware of this behavior the next time it happens.
The important thing here is to understand that you create self-sabotage situations, so you can instead create other circumstances that are more favorable to what you truly desire.
People are Afraid of Greatness
I believe we each have a calling within us for greatness and to create an impact in the world around us. At the same time, we are hearing this call from within, our busy brains are providing us with all the reasons why we can’t be important, abundant, loved, and supported. So how do we get our minds on the bus to follow our Soul?
There Is No Such Thing as an Overnight Success
Success does not happen overnight, nor does it have to be hard work. Your internal landscape is creating your external experience, so it’s about being frequency-specific. What do I mean? When we truly believe and deeply know that we are loved, supported, and abundant, our external world WILL reflect that good—it just may not happen as fast as we’d like it to.
Practice the Pause
One of the tools I have provided people with over the years is The Pause. It’s about choosing greatness. So, when your mind is rattling on about how you are not enough—PAUSE and say, “I activate my greatness.” The more often you pause and activate your greatness, the more you invite the Universe to create all those experiences that reflect that frequency of greatness.
Surround Yourself with Greatness
Did you know it takes less effort to go up the energetic scale than down? We are comfortable being in our consciousness of discomfort and we believe it’s hard work to uplevel. When you surround yourself with individuals who are expanding and stretching to experience greatness, it provides you with bigger opportunities to choose to be that.

It’s Already Within You
You can’t fake what innately comes from your Soul, and worthiness is already within you! Right here and right now you get to decide what is more important … your fear or experiencing the truth within you. It’s always a choice to decide to listen to and act on the wisdom of your Soul.
Your Soul won’t stop offering you the chance to know and experience your greatness. Here’s your opportunity to trust that you will be safe as you lean into that.
