How the fear of failure may manifest itself in your life
Most of my clients shared the same initial fear before we began our work together: “What if I fail?” They worried about putting in tremendous effort, only to return to square one.
Perhaps you can relate to this cycle of weight loss followed by weight gain, or the frustrating battle with overeating or binging that seems to resurface every few months.
Fear of failure might manifest itself in thoughts and feelings that getting rid of your unwanted eating habits
– is too difficult,
– takes too long,
– is impossible because you won’t have the willpower to do it,
– means that you will have to deprive yourself.
These negative thoughts and feelings will stop you either during the process or might even stop you before you get started.
