Are You Prone to Pre-Failing?

Did the tide go out? Is something in retrograde? I don't know about you but it seems everyone has pressed the pause button and/or gone doggone silent. Perhaps everyone is just on vacation (that's me trying to stay positive :)

My first instincts after announcing something new and not seeing instant results is to slip into worry, then nobody-loves-me, then toss up my hands and prepare for defeat. But then I snap to and remember that gets me nowhere. Time to shift Pre-Failing into Pre-Winning.

"Dammit Janet, You either Win or Learn. So if at first you don’t win, learn and then win!"

The Question of the Week is about Pre-Failing. Pre-failing is self-sabotage and an abundance blocker. It can be pretty sneaky, slipping in along side the excuses and blaming we default to while convincing ourselves it's out of our control (like the economy or the weather or people on vacation).

Pre-failing is not about pivoting or putting something on hold - it’s about fear. When we go into Pre-fail mode we are putting all of our focus on defeat which only succeeds in keeping us small and safe. Remember... what you focus on expands.

The Question(s):

  • When did you last have thoughts of Pre-failing?

  • What were the emotions that came up around it?

  • What did you tell yourself to change your thoughts and shift from Pre-failing to Pre-Winning?

Does this resonate with you? Shoot me an email and let me know.

Best, Janet
