65: Self Sabotage

LDS Missionary Moms

Send us a text

You set a goal, make a plan, feel excited… and then sabotage it. Procrastination, excuses, distractions—we all do it. But why?

Why We Self-Sabotage:

💡 It’s a worthiness issue. We only allow ourselves to succeed at the level we believe we deserve.
💡 Fear keeps us small. Success brings change, and change feels risky.
💡 More effort isn’t the answer. If you don’t believe you’re worthy of good things, you’ll block them—no matter how hard you try.

For Missionary Moms:

If you’re stuck in stress and worry, ask yourself:
✨ Am I making things harder than they need to be?
✨ Do I feel guilty resting while my missionary struggles?
✨ Am I afraid that if I stop worrying, I won’t be a “good” mom?

Here’s the truth: Your peace helps them more than your stress ever will.

How to Break the Cycle:

✔ Notice the pattern without shame.
✔ Practice receiving—compliments, rest, joy.
✔ Take one small action that aligns with your worth.

Start today: Pause, breathe, and remind yourself I am worthy of good things. 💙
