Why You Self Sabotage

So here’s the deal…

No one intentionally decides to self-sabotage, despite the temptation of chocolate cake while on a diet, scrolling on your phone instead of working on your business goal, or picking an unnecessary fight with your beloved.

Why then do we sometimes chronically execute these destructive behaviors?

It’s common for insecurities and self-limiting beliefs to surface when we approach something we truly desire.

If self-sabotage is detrimental, why repeat it?

Simply put, what gets rewarded gets repeated. Sabotage fills a need or void of some kind. To stop the cycle of destructive behavior, we need to discover the void and learn new behaviors.
