How To Overcome Self-Sabotage

Welcome to my book about how to overcome self-sabotage throughout the chapters of your WorkLife Story. Here is a preview of what's inside, along with the main ideas and the meaning behind these.

WorkLife is our life at work, where we spend one third of our lives. It is also the impact our work has on our life outside of work, and the impact our life outside of work has on our work. All areas of our life in and out of work are so intrinsically linked, they cannot be separated, nor do I believe should they. I believe WorkLife needs to be considered holistically.

Self-Sabotage is the action or inaction we take to get in our own way, stopping ourselves from achieving our own best intentions and goals. The stories we tell ourselves and our inner voices contribute to our self-sabotage.

In this book I tell three stories:

1. Self-Sabotage by Lack of Humility and Self-Belief: Samantha and Josh's stories of how they lost the opportunities they wanted so much through each self-sabotaging themselves, but in very different ways.

2. Your Inner Saboteurs: Luke's story of how his inner voices led to destroying his relationships with his fellow workers.

3. Self-SabotagingHisOwnMeetings:Donal's story of how when he was afraid to say he didn't know how to run meetings, and ask for help, how people used that against him to engineer his self-sabotage to get what they wanted; and how through the help of a colleague he learnt to overcome this challenge.

I share the exercises that helped to work through these challenging situations to resolve the dilemmas. I present these exercises as the following assignments for you to work through:
