Self Doubt, Inner Critics, and Saboteurs: How We Keep Ourselves From Reaching Our Goals

The Davenport

"Sometimes we are our own worst critic" is a well-known phrase and, unfortunately, often true. In this first episode of the new year, Jamie and Guy discuss how our inner critics or "saboteurs" often get in the way of us reaching our goals. Saboteurs are "invisible agents of self-sabotage" and represent our brain's automatic beliefs and assumptions about how to handle life's challenges. Guy has Jamie take a "Saboteur Assessment" (or quiz) to identify her hardest-working saboteurs and then they discuss which ones they struggle with the most. This assessment is based on the theory of Positive Intelligence by Shirzad Chamine and his bestselling book on the subject.
