Do you fell continuous anxiety about things around you and always think about what could go wrong?

Then one of your Accomplice Saboteurs might be the Hyper-vigilant. What you need to know about it is that its voice will create anxiety and doubts about self and others.


Some other characteristics are:

  • Being sensitive to danger signals

  • Suspicious of what others are up to

  • Having a constant expectation of danger and that something could go wrong

  • Planting doubt by telling you that people always mess up

  • Looks for comforting signs in any rule, guidance or person of authority


Thoughts

The Hyper-vigilant always keep you wondering when the other shoe will drop, when will something go wrong and what danger are you in. It makes you afraid of making mistakes and putting yourself at risk with others blaming you. It affects your relationship with others by planting suspicion and through lack of trust. There will always be the need to follow rules so you can be prepared to tackle any issues that might arise.

Lies

The Hyper-vigilant will tell you that life is full of dangers and that you always need to be on the look-out. With these lies in the back of your mind, you will become sceptical and cynical.

Feelings

All these thoughts of anxiousness and vigilance create a hard life to live. The constant anxiety burns a great deal of energy that would otherwise be use in other aspects of your life.

Similar to the story of the boy who cried wolf, the Hyper-vigilant can affect your relationship with others and yourself by loosing credibility. Others will start avoiding you due to the high intensity of your attitude and behaviour.

You need to remember that not everything is going to go wrong and not everyone is out to get you. It’s ok for things to go wrong and that would not be the end of the world. Like I said in my previous posts - there is balance in life, positives and negatives and And when some things might go wrong, remember to try some PQ reps when you feel you Hyper-vigilant trying to take over.

Is the Hyper-vigilant one of your Saboteurs? If not, keep coming back for a future post on Accomplice Saboteurs.
