It's perplexing but I've been doing it for 30 years too. 
Not good. |
I think it stems from a lack of faith ,then the error reinforces itself and 'trains' us to expect bad outcomes. Example: I desire to give a good speech- I visualize everything going great, great delivery, great response ect.... / then I begin to worry ( because I doubt my visualized outcome) , what if they don't like me?, what if I choke?, what if I just stand up there and turn red? .
Outcome: my fear projections win out, it goes horribly, now I begin to think ...this doesn't work- I try again, but with "this doesn't work" running in the background, repeat over and over = trained to fail.
