Ever wondered why you sometimes get in your own way? Building something up then tearing it down? That's self-sabotage.
It's a real psychological phenomenon deeply rooted in our unconscious mind.
Often driven by limiting beliefs and past experiences, it's like having an "anti-self" working against your conscious goals.
Here's the thing: this "anti-self" is often born from childhood experiences or past pain.
It manifests in various ways — blame, walking away from opportunities, negative self-talk, procrastination, and an inability to fulfill goals.
But here's an interesting twist: sometimes, what looks like self-sabotage might actually be your authentic self rebelling against societal expectations.
Are you really sabotaging yourself, or are you just not aligned with what you're pursuing?
For me, it was around the goals I pursued in life. In 2017 I first ventured out to start an online business, purely to get rich and get out of my terrible job at a Chinese restaurant.
