035 Self-Sabotage

What’s New:

Revisit Last Week’s Episode:

Several of you said that Episode 034 Summer Structure was helpful. I hope you’re finding a loose framework that’s working for your family. I know it’s helping us!
A few of you sent me some private messages sharing what you need or wish you had offered in your local areas in terms of support for NFP, infertility, etc. Please continue to reach out and share those ideas. As I said, I’ll have a future guest on to discuss that topic

Today’s Topic: Self-Sabotage

What I’m doing:
- reading & mindlessly scrolling social media at bedtime instead of SLEEPING!
- result: cranky, impatient, resentful mama (even though it’s self-inflicted!)
Philip’s self-sabotaging
- Perfectionism as a form of procrastination
- Stress eating carbs
- Letting the perfect be the enemy of the good enough in his prayer life
Other examples
- 2nd glass of wine – headache
Are you self-sabotaging?
- Call to action: Take a screen shot of this episode.
  - Send it to your husband
    - Take the time tonight after the kids are in bed to talk about the ways each of you self-sabotages. Come up with at least 2 for each of you and commit to holding each other accountable for a week. Chances are that your self-sabotage is affecting them, too.
  - Send the screen shot with a girlfriend.
    - She’s probably struggling with the same things you are. Get really specific. Commit to breaking up with self-sabotage.
  - I’m going to check in next week to see how things are going.
  - Be my accountability partner!
  - My plan:
    - leave my phone on the kitchen charger at bedtime
    - use my sunrise alarm clock instead of my phone
    - put down my books by 10:30 p.m.
Question for you: Are you self-sabotaging? I want to hear about it!
