Are you dog tired?

Below are things that can drain you of your spiritual, mental, and physical energy. Avoiding them or mastering “the self” can make all the difference in accomplishing goals. Filling your mind with positive affirmations and things to succeed is crucial. You can’t have a positive life carry along negative baggage. Don’t lay around like a sad puppy and take charge of your existence. 

**The Procrastinator** Procrastinators often obsess over the end product or outcome of their tasks, insisting that everything must be perfect. As a result, they spend excessive time planning and researching instead of simply diving in. This tendency holds them back from getting started. For procrastinators, it’s crucial to push past the fear of beginning and failure.

**The Rule Follower** This person is dedicated to adhering to the distinct rules and guidelines set by those around them. They are preoccupied with making the right decisions, even at the expense of their success. The best way to overcome this is through self-compassion. Allow yourself the opportunity to make what you may consider a “wrong” decision—and reassure yourself that it’s okay. You’re human, and it’s important to define your guiding principles rather than relying solely on others.

**The People Pleaser** Those who embody the People Pleaser archetype struggle with the fear of being judged and often worry about disappointing others. They find it challenging to set clear boundaries and say “no.” This can be daunting for someone who is accustomed to prioritizing others. Although this behavior comes from a genuine place, it can lead to neglecting your own needs. Taking care of yourself is essential for learning how to improve in this area.

**The Outcast** Individuals with the Outcast archetype may appear fearless on the outside, but internally, their biggest fear is rejection. To avoid being hurt, they often preemptively reject others. It’s important to reflect on whether you are focusing on the worst-case scenario and to consider alternative outcomes. When you fixate solely on negative possibilities, you often overlook the potential benefits of a situation. Allowing others a chance might lead to unexpected positive results. Look for reasons to trust others and remember that if things don’t go well, you have the experience to handle the situation.

**The Self-Doubter** Fear of not being good enough dominates this archetype. Self-doubters feel insecure about their abilities and may struggle to put themselves out there. Alternatively, they might criticize others to mask their insecurities. Those who doubt themselves often work the hardest, putting in significant effort to overcome their fears. A helpful way to combat self-doubt is to step outside your comfort zone occasionally and observe the outcomes. By proactively engaging in your life, you may be surprised to discover just how capable you truly are.

**The Excuse Maker** Individuals who identify with the Excuse Maker archetype struggle to take responsibility for their choices and goals. Rather than stepping up, they tend to take a backseat to avoid accountability, allowing others to make decisions for them. While it can be tempting to go with the flow to avoid responsibility for negative outcomes, being passive is still a choice. It can be challenging to reach a goal without actively moving toward it. There is great pride in accomplishing something you have set out to do!

**The Pessimist** The Pessimist archetype grapples with the fear of adversity and hardship. Due to past or current trauma, pessimists often feel victimized, and sometimes justifiably so. However, they may view hardships as stop signs or reasons to give up. It’s vital to practice seeing hardships as stepping stones or lessons rather than roadblocks. Everyone faces difficulties in life; it’s how we interpret these challenges that ultimately shape the outcome.
