Dr. Rob asks, “what are your favorite ways to shoot yourself in the foot?”
We are all exceptional at shooting ourselves in the foot. Some examples are:
1. Being late
2. Speaking when you should be listening
3. Multi-tasking when you should be paying attention
4. Blurting something out you don’t intend to say
5. Complaining without offering a suggestion for change
6. Making a joke when it’s not appropriate
These self defeating habits are among the hardest to overcome. Here’s a suggestion for breaking this bad habit:
1. For the next week, keep a list of the ways you shoot yourself in the foot.
2. At the end of the week, review the list and come up with an action plan for at least one of these habits that you will work on changing.
If you need more help on this, I’d be happy to talk to you about it. Please share your comments on here, Facebook or email.

I like this list a lot. Although I do have to say that catching yourself doing some of these before you embark will take practice. But then the week list is a good start to modifying behavior. I'm giving it a try. So, far late once. My worst bad habit.
