Self-Sabotaging - Tricks Needed To Stop
It's been a tough few years for my family, but the clouds are starting to clear. I'm divorcing my alcoholic husband and selling my home. An opportunity to move across the country has come my way, and my only child (18M) wants us to take the chance.
I've noticed that I keep freezing and doing nothing, even though I know I am running out of time to sell the contents of my home, have improvements done, and get it listed. We will be leaving a 4,000 sq ft house for a two-bedroom apartment and taking just personal belongings with us.
I've procrastinated on the travel arrangements for the final interview...to the point it will cost more to book the flights. I know that I will also now have to hire a company to help clear out our house.
This morning it hit me. I'm self-sabotaging. The job is a dream job in a dream city, and the timing on paper is perfect. But I've been really comfortable where I am for the past decade. I don't want to continue to live settling for what's comfortable. But the idea of the move is definitely giving me a ton of anxiety.
I would love advice on how to navigate all of these changes without sabotaging what could be an amazing change for my son and me.
