Tap To Interrupt Money Sabotage
- Use EFT tapping when you notice a sabotage to calm your nervous system and release fear in the moment.
- Denise offers a free Tap Away Your Money Sabotages workshop at denisedt.com/April to learn this tool and practice it immediately.
Sabotage Is Protection Not Proof You're Broken
- Sabotage often functions as protective behaviour meant to avoid perceived pain like shame, embarrassment, or criticism.
- Reframing sabotage as protection reduces self-blame and opens space to compassionately interrupt the pattern.
Break Procrastination By Naming Fears And Adding Accountability
- When procrastination strikes, expose the fear by asking "what's the worst that would happen" and write the answers down to neutralize absurd imagined outcomes.
- Create external accountability like public deadlines, pre-selling, or an accountability buddy to force progress.
