It’s easy to overlook the immense power that resides inside each of us.
Most of the time, we have no idea how our actions (or lack thereof) affect the course of our life.
It’s common for us to moan that we have terrible luck or lack the ability to be successful.
What we don’t know is that we’re subconsciously sabotaging our own happiness.
.
To overcome self-sabotage, we must first utilize conscious awareness to examine our emotions and concerns and understand how they impact our behavior.
Once we know what caused the damaging conduct, we may make efforts to prevent it from occurring again.
When we sabotage ourselves, what exactly is going on in our minds?
Even though we profess we desire a particular result, we may be afraid of it subconsciously.
Weight loss, for example, is a good illustration.
Many overweight folks have tried several diets and yet they can’t shed the pounds despite their best efforts (or keep them off).
They chastise themselves, work harder, and attempt to force the weight to go away in an effort to lose it.
As far as I know, nothing is going on underneath the surface.
Do they genuinely want to get rid of the pounds they’ve accumulated?
They may claim they do, but what if their fat reserves are acting as a kind of armor against the dangers of an increasingly volatile environment?
What if they feel compelled to hide their identities altogether?
As a result, shedding pounds turns into a terrifying prospect.
Because they don’t want to feel vulnerable and exposed, they may sabotage their diet attempts.
There are some people who, despite their stated desire to lose weight, set themselves up for failure by sneaking food, skipping exercise, and promising themselves that they’ll try harder the next day.
Others may be apprehensive about beginning a new career since it is so straightforward.
A startling proportion of job applicants fail to show up for scheduled interviews, even when the post is highly sought after.
Here’s another one to consider: Possibly, a stay-at-home mom chooses to return to the job in order to raise money for her and her family’s future.
Despite her desire to remain at home and raise her children full-time, she believes she must work outside the house.
For this reason, instead of applying for a position that she is qualified for or a post that requires hours incompatible with her family’s schedule, she tries to apply for a position that she isn’t qualified for.
This is her subliminal method of guaranteeing she won’t have to leave her house and at least be able to claim she “tried” to seek a job.
Some people may also be concerned about what others will think if they achieve their ambitions.
Individuals may act in such a way that they do not believe they are deserving of the consequence in order to ensure their failure.
Even the saboteurs, who unintentionally carry out these acts of destruction, have deluded themselves into believing they know what they’re doing.
If there is any doubt, anxiety, or uncertainty in their thoughts, they will find a means to avoid it.
Maybe this is a good description of you?
Have you ever deliberately harmed your own progress?
What’s the latest on that?
Is it impossible for you to achieve your objectives no matter how hard you try?
Fortunately, we can overcome our own self-destructive tendencies.
Recognizing that you’re engaging in self-sabotage is the first step toward overcoming it.
We must become aware of our ideas, feelings, and behaviors in order to improve our lives.
Make an inventory of the obstacles you’ve faced along the way to accomplishing a goal and see if there’s anything you can learn from them.
Is it possible that you might have prevented some of the difficulties by making better decisions?

Is there a substantial number of obstacles in the case of this specific aim?
If this is the case, it’s possible that you’re setting yourself up for failure.
Meditation is an excellent way to connect with your subconscious mind.
Face your fears by asking yourself what you’re scared of.
What are you afraid of?
What are you afraid of?
What about this objective gives you the creeps?
For what reasons would you try to hold yourself back?
Writing these questions and answers down in a diary may also be helpful since writing can help you connect with your innermost self.
These ideas may take some time and effort to look into in order to break out of the cycle of self-sabotage, but it is worth the effort.
Once we realize that we are in charge of our own achievement, we shall be liberated from all limits.
Understanding our desired results, as well as the possibility of setbacks, allows us to quit self-sabotage and concentrate on achieving new objectives that we are totally committed to.
When we look back, we will find that instead of becoming our own worst enemy, we have become our greatest ally.
