What is Self Sabotage?
Do you often find yourself taking one step forward and then two steps back?
Do you tend to quit, grow anxious or sabotage your efforts when you’re on the brink of success?
If you’re nodding your head right now, you might have some patterns of self-sabotage that keep repeating in different areas of your life, with or without you realizing it.
Self-sabotage is like an invisible barrier that keeps us from reaching our true potential.
We often can’t point our finger at what exactly is the problem because it never clicks to us that our own mind can play games with us that turn out to be detrimental.
We keep trying to find external causes and reasons, but oftentimes, the cause lies within.
Self-sabotage can be that little voice in your head telling you that:
- You aren’t good enough
- You aren’t smart enough
- You can’t handle the responsibility that comes with growth
- You can’t handle the pressures of being at a high position
- You can’t manage success
- You don’t deserve love and a healthy relationship
It’s was makes you anxious when you start to get too deep into any personal or professional relationships, and as a result, you get this urge to just pull away without knowing the reason why.
It’s what makes you see your perfectly healthy relationship and a decent partner as “boring”.
Here’s the thing, self-sabotage is not your enemy. It’s a protective mechanism that you might’ve subconsciously developed based on your past or childhood experiences.
It wants to protect you from getting hurt again and keep you within the limits of your comfort zone, but in doing so, it holds you back and keeps your life from growing and moving forward.
