Then I saw the words “self-sabotage” in a quote that was posted.

All of a sudden the pieces from my morning came together… my post, my new website message, Doreen Virtue’s post and the words in the quote that had caught my eye. These were prompts to what I was to write about today. We have all done it. Some more than others. This phrase can be truth if you let it… “You are your own worst enemy.”

It seems easy to do but how do you stop doing it. The answer is just as easy.

Not letting negativity, fear or doubt control you just takes practice.

You are in control of what affects you. If you are affected by it, you allowed it in.

It involves being consciously aware of these things in order to dismiss or release them to replace them with positivity until this process becomes automatic. I want you to know that even after this as I have experienced, there may be incidents or issues when the negativity can temporarily get the upper hand but you can fix it just by letting it go and forgiving yourself. Do not make it worse by beating yourself up over it.

In times of what may be considered by you or others as failure, remember there is no such thing as failure because there are usually lessons to be learned from it. These lessons can lead to modifications of your original plan or changing the plan all together to point you in the direction needed to follow your spiritual path.
