Exercise: The Self-Sabotage Detox

1. Identify Habits: Reflect on recent performances and persistent setbacks. List any negative patterns or behaviors such as procrastination, negative self-talk, or overtraining.

2. Root Causes: Ask yourself why these behaviors exist. Is it fear of failure, lack of self-confidence, or perfectionism?

3. Counter Strategies:

   1. Procrastination: Break tasks into smaller, manageable chunks with clear deadlines.

   2. Negative Self-Talk: Replace negative thoughts with affirmations. Example: Turn “I can’t do this” into “I am capable and prepared.”

   3. Overtraining: Schedule regular rest and recovery, and appreciate that downtime enhances performance.

4. Commit to Change: Implement a daily routine that includes these counter-strategies. Document any improvements or setbacks, and adjust as necessary.
